Did you think to read the man page for newsyslog? It mentions
a file called newsyslog.conf.  Hmmm, a configuration file.  I
wonder what's in it.  Oh, the man page also says SEE ALSO...
newsyslog.conf(5).

Read the man pages.  Read the configuration file.  You'll get
your answer.

O ops... Our man page does not have the SEE ALSO entry (it should,
IMHO) but does list /etc/newsyslog.conf in the FILES section.  I
was on a different system when I checked.

heh. the catch is that newsyslog.conf(5) is an MLINK to syslog(8). so
there's no point adding a pointer to the same page in SEE ALSO. this has

indeed.
