Hi, Perhaps this is a dumb question, but is there any reason _not_ to have /var/log/lastlog be rotated via newsyslog like most other log files? I thought that maybe it was omitted because it is composed of fixed format data structures and rotating it at just the wrong time could split one of these structures, throwing off alignment. But I see that wtmp is rotated by newsyslog, which has the same issue. If the above is not a concern or can't happen, or there are no other concerns, I'd like to add it. Any objections?
