From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13custom i686) Description of problem: I notice that /var/log/lastlog is getting very big. The only reference to lastlog in /etc/logrotate.conf is: # no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 } The intimated paragraph for lastlog is missing! I think this should be added: # no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/lastlog { monthly create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 } Is there some reason not to rotate lastlog? Or was this just a simple omission? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. This omission is in a freshly installed RH 7.2. 2. 3.
