If by 'the logrotate program' you mean the savelog script called from /etc/cron.*/* files to move old logs to logfilename.0 and then logfilename.1.gz, etc., then the answer is no - simply chmod'ing the files won't be enough. You need to modify the files in the directories /etc/cron.daily/, /etc/cron.weekly/ and /etc/cron.monthly/ to make a permanent change - look for the line that calls savelog and see what's given as the '-m' parameter. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
