logrotate lastlog

["Mike Vanecek" <rh_lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The /var/log/lastlog file on my RH 8 install seems to be growing without
limit. I have searched the logrotate/syslog definitions and do not find
anything for rotating lastlog.

Should RH8 have a lastlog rotate somewhere?

E.g., logrotate.conf has

# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

Should it not be

# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp  /var/log/lastlog {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

I would be tempted to add compress as well.

Thanks.
