========= WTMP and BTMP
BTMP is getting huge after a year, about 800MB, WTMP is getting close to 1MB. ==============
I am on the digest, so I hope this does not start a new thread (responding to my own thread). I went and added a file to /etc/logrotate.d and ran it to rotate the file
/var/log/btmp { minsize 1M create 0600 root root rotate 1 }
Then I added the same to the logrotate.conf and deleted the file I had added for manual rotation.
To /etc/logrotate.conf
/var/log/btmp { monthly minsize 1M create 0600 root root rotate 1 }
The manual worked. I am gonna delete the 800mb file and call it a wash. Good thing I left enough on that partition to deal with it.
Chmod 0600, root/root, add to etc/logrotate.d, monthly.
Any other ideas to optimize this are welcome. This was as installed and quite odd that it was not included in the setup.
Thanks
