bffa911730 Add a new W' flag, that when used in conjunction with the Z' flag or the
`J' flag means that newsyslog should wait for previously started compression
jobs to complete before starting a new one for this entry.  When it is used
along with the `G' flag, in the case when several logfiles match the pattern
and should be compressed, the newsyslog will compress logs one by one,
ensuring that only one compression job is running at a time.

This prevents newsyslog(8) from overloading system by starting several
compression jobs on big files simultaneously.

2e01a2be1e Add a new newsyslog.conf flag - 'G', which if set tells newsyslog(8) that
the specified filename of the log to be rotated is in fact shell glob
pattern. In this case, all files matching this pattern will be rotated
using the same options. Useful in the case when there is no pre-defined
name for the logfiles (e.g. xtradius, samba etc).

669d663174 Close a very small window during which new (empty) instances of rotated log
files are owned by the caller of newsyslog (usually root:wheel) even if
alternative ownerships were specified in newsyslog.conf.

Note that this is part of a wider problem which is fully addressed in
OpenBSD.  Anyone with the time and inclination to incorporate the full
fix for the wider problem will receive no complaints from me and should
feel free to walk all over this delta.

5d88e21a2a Instead of giving an example of rotating logs at the end of the month,
give an example of how to rotate logs at the beginning of the month.
Although they sound the same, since both of them rotate logs at the
beginning of the day, the former ended up taking place on, e.g., July
31 00:00 instead of the expected July 31 23:59.  This is contraty to POLA.

ae2c5cf197 Go back to allowing ``.'' as a username.group separator for backward
compatibility.  : is still the documented non-ambiguous approach.  The
algorithm used will correctly parse david.obrien.staff as strrchar() is
used, and in my mind more people would use a ``.'' in the username than
the group name.

8fba304b43 A slight bit of code and doco cleanup, but mostly:
Add the much-needed and long-desired ability to force the log rotation
to take place on a specific day or time, and document same.  This works
by extending the syntax of the `when' field to allow a restricted
ISO 8601 time specification, and performing the log rotation if newsyslog
is run during the same hour as is specified.
