edadbb99db The slip.log file got removed along with the MPSAFE tty work. If slip
does ever come back it's probably best if its log file be something that
gets added if the user decided they want to run slip instead of having
it here unconditionally.

d4df47caab Remove the C flag from slip.log. The current slip userbase does not
justify the presence of a (usually empty) /var/log/slip.log on every
FreeBSD box.

bb4bd97c12 - Update etc/rc.d/newsyslog to FreeBSD standards and install it.
- Enable it by default, running newsyslog with -CN which creates files
   that have the C flag specified in /etc/newsyslog.conf.
 - Remove the "newsyslog -CC" call from etc/rc.d/var and the check for
   newsyslog.
 - Add the C flag to entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that are currently
   installed as part of the base system.

There are two effects from this change:
 - Users who delete default syslog files to stop logging to them
   will need to set newsyslog_enable=NO in rc.conf or remove the C
   flag from those file in /etc/newsyslog.conf or they will come back
   on the next boot.
 - Diskless systems now create the same set of files that ordinary
   systems have by default instead of every file in newsyslog.conf.

30d6457c9e Turns out everyone is a lot lazier than I thought. Spell
'authentication.log' as 'auth.log'.

This is also more consistent with syslog facility names.

Sigh. :-)

0ec9497e58 Clean up logging of security information a bit:
o Introduce /var/log/authentication.log, which will be the target for
  auth.info and authpriv.info by default.  Rotate on the same schedule
  as most other logs.  Create at installation.

o Remove logging of auth.info from /var/log/security.log, which will
  return to being only for security feature subsystems (such as ipfw,
  and so on).

This creates a special authentication log, which can now be searched
by scripts for authentication events.

d6828be55f o Introduce automated log rotation for /var/log/console, the
default syslog target for console messages (when enabled in
  syslog.conf).  Use the same rotation defaults as with
  /var/log/messages -- every 100kb of log, compress back logs,
  and keep five rotated logs.
o Note: phk also thought it would be useful to force rotation
  each boot.  This commit does not introduce such a rotation.

9ed55d1192 Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8).  Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

4944b91311 Change various log file modes from mode 664 to 644. Allowing group
wheel to trash logfiles is not exactly good security policy.  There have
been several gid wheel holes in ports.  Various other files were changed
as well (eg: the locate database were set to more restrictive modes (444)
by their generation scripts) so this should be safe for them.  utmp and
wtmp are mode 644 already on all the systems we checked.

13c032fd0e Add two commented out syslog.conf entries, one to demonstrate the use of
an all.log for logging all messages, and one to demonstrate use of loghosts.
Also, a matching entry in newsyslog.conf for all.log.

Per request of Garrett Wollman, also modified the maillog entry to use the
@T newsyslog time specification mechanism.  Because newsyslog doesn't
support the mod date specification machanism, couldn't change other
entries that required more than one execution a month, but less than once
a day.

Included are updates for all relevant manpages and also to /etc files,

19f1101052 Now that newsyslog is capable of doing this at a specific time,
let it rotate /var/log/wtmp again, and update monthly/200.accounting to
take this into account.  (Some sites might want to change the parameters
of the rotation; it's easier to do this when it's all centralized in
newsyslog.conf.)
