How to logrotate DSfW kdc.log

To rotate the kdc.log (which should be enabled in the 2011 July Maintenance patch) create a file in the /etc/logrotate.d directory called novell-kdc

In the novell-kdc file put

/var/opt/novell/xad/log/kdc.log {
    compress
    dateext
    rotate 10
    notifempty
    size=16M
    copytruncate
}

Adjust the number of logs to rotate and the size or add other options like "create 0600 root root".

 

Rotation of the kdc.log will be configured during the install of DSfW in OES11.

Another option is to logrotate all logs in the /var/opt/novell/xad/log directory.  To do that create a file called novell-xad in the /etc/logrotate.d directory.  Then add the following into the file.

/var/opt/novell/xad/log/*.log {
    compress
    dateext
    rotate 10
    notifempty
    size=16M
    copytruncate
}
