1 Hi folks,
2
3 from /etc/logrotate.conf:
4
5 -----
6 # no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
7 /var/log/wtmp {
8 monthly
9 create 0664 root utmp
10 rotate 1
11 }
12 -----

14 It states it rotates lastlog (/var/log/lastlog) but it doesn't and my lastlog
15 grows forever. Doesn't seem right. Anybody else seeing the same or have I
16 messed up?
17
18 I mean I can easily edit /etc/logrotate.conf but I think it should do that by
19 default.
