i just recently wanted to add a log to the regular rotation and found some
good examples in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/ also the man
page for logrotate is realy helpful.

one note though, if your on a mandrake system the msec utility may go
through and change your permission settings. this is easy to fix, but a
little baffling at first.
