Hello All:

I'm interested in making my messages file more likely to survive a hacking =
attempt and I've set the sappend flag to that end.  It would be nice if sys=
log-ng could actually rotate the logfile since it gets quite large, but the=
 sappend flag seems to prohibit that from happening.  Is there any way to m=
aintain the flag and allow syslog-ng to rotate the files?

Regards,

Michael Smith
