i'm running ipmasqing on redhat 6.1 and don't know how to make my logs
automatically rotate themselves. i have to go down every few days and clean
them out so they don't fill up my hard drive. can anyone tell me how to do
this, or send me a link so you don't have to explain it to me?
thanks,
derek

I don't know if your discussing all your log files or only
those relating to ipmasqing. However, the script
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
is supposed to run /usr/sbin/logrotate to rotate the
standard files. (Do man logrotate.) If for some reason the
machine is turned off when the cron job is scheduled, it
won't run. You might also check to see if you have the
logrotate package installed.
