When newsyslog.conf was modified to compress rotated log files with bzip2
instead of gzip some 3 months ago, most of the periodic scripts that process
those log files were not tought how to decompress those archived files.
This affects the following scripts:
etc/periodic/daily/470.status-named
etc/periodic/security/800.loginfail
etc/periodic/security/900.tcpwrap
The result is incomplete processing of log files and possibly the loss
of important warnings that else might have been generated.
In case there are no objections, I intend to commit the following patches
(which should be merged to 5.0R before the release, IMHO).
Regards, STefan
