Our local system requirements mandate that user-related system logs are
kept for a certain number of months, so i'm curious about how to modify
the log generating/removal procedures so that the log files stay around
longer. I don't mind having "secure.27" sitting in my / var/log folder.
I'm not familiar with the utilties that generate the log files, so some
advice about which .conf files to modify is helpful.
I'm primarily interested in maintaining the standard logs that monitor
user activity, such as logon and logoff times, secure logins/attempts,
etc. /var/log/secure being the primary one, since I only allow secure
logins.
Thanks,

man logrotate
less /etc/logrotate.conf
less /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
ls /ect/logrotate.d
