You are right: I just quickly created logrotate config for kernel |
| 13 |
by copying from other config, misspeled that "compytruncate", |
| 14 |
erased "postrotate" script but forgot to delete "endscript". |
| 15 |
I completely forgot about this change, and when I received |
| 16 |
email with "error: kernel" I immediatelly thought of some |
| 17 |
kernel misconfiguration... |

Let me ask: how do you deal with /var/log/wtmp? I think it does not |
| 23 |
go through syslog, and even it it does, it is not easy to process it |
| 24 |
whit that syslog-macro because it is not pure text file. Do you |
| 25 |
let it grow forever? Or how do you transfer it to log-server? |
