For those unaware of the patches, they can be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ro/logrotate There is a bugzilla entry already for fedora core https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108775 Now if they'd enhance logrotate so it could rotate logs into another filesystems i'd be happy. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
