Well, most of the information you seek is in
$ man newsyslog
I tend to prefer keeping the file not-world-readable (mode 600), rotated
monthly on the first day of the month, and keep them in gzipped form. I also
prefer to keep archived logs for a year. The way you'd write that in
/etc/newsyslog.conf is:
/var/log/ftpd 600 12 * $M1D0 Z
C'mon back if you have any questions.
