I have not looked at the patch in depth yet, but I believe NetBSD or OpenBSD does have something similar to this. I'd want to check what they have, and make sure that if we are doing the same thing that they are, that we will be using the same option for it. It happens that I do plan to do some work on newsyslog this week, so I will look into your patch while doing that work. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
