That might help. ;-) Of course I can establish a private default in /etc/logrotate.d, but do you think you could add a reasonable default to /etc/\ logrotate.conf, just as a last resort for all installations? A huge number (e.g. 2^30) might do.
This should make sure that at least 99% of all installations won't notice any difference to the current default settings. But it would reduce the risk of a /var partition running out of space, breaking logrotate's compress feature. Thanx in advance Harri
