# configuration file for newsyslog # $FreeBSD: stable/12/usr.sbin/newsyslog/newsyslog.conf 337686 2018-08-12 13:24:53Z brd $ # # Entries which do not specify the '/pid_file' field will cause the # syslogd process to be signalled when that log file is rotated. This # action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the # syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslog.conf). If there # is no process which needs to be signalled when a given log file is # rotated, then the entry for that file should include the 'N' flag. # # Note: some sites will want to select more restrictive protections than the # defaults. In particular, it may be desirable to switch many of the 644 # entries to 640 or 600. For example, some sites will consider the # contents of maillog, messages, and lpd-errs to be confidential. In the # future, these defaults may change to more conservative ones. # # logfilename [owner:group] mode count size when flags [/pid_file] [sig_num] /var/log/all.log 600 7 * @T00 - /var/log/auth.log 600 7 1000 @0101T C /var/log/console.log 600 5 1000 * - /var/log/cron 600 3 1000 * C /var/log/daily.log 640 7 * @T00 N /var/log/debug.log 600 7 1000 * C /var/log/init.log 644 3 1000 * - /var/log/kerberos.log 600 7 1000 * - /var/log/maillog 640 7 * @T00 C /var/log/messages 644 5 1000 @0101T C /var/log/monthly.log 640 12 * $M1D0 N /var/log/devd.log 644 3 1000 * C /var/log/security 600 10 1000 * C /var/log/utx.log 644 3 * @01T05 B /var/log/weekly.log 640 5 * $W6D0 N /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/* /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*
