Jeremy:
Check the /etc/logrotate.conf file. You can make your changes there. I am
not sure if modifying it here will stop on startup or a syslog restart but
you can stop log rotation here. I have tried this in the past but found my
system day by day utilizing more and more resources towards syslogd because
the files were so large that is was writing to. Because of this I started it
back up and if I want to say look back on old logins from 4 or 5 months past
I would do a last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 or wtmp.2 and so on. But that is how I
did it and it would not restart the logs on a reboot or syslog restart. But
this was Red Hat 4.2. Someone else may be able to help you with the log
restart on startup.
Hope this helps,
Eddie Strohmier
