[tac_plus] New suggestion for tac_plus on Linux

[Elaine Doyle]

Hi folks.

Wondering how I can go about recommending/providing an inclusion for log
rotation in tac_plus build for Linux
% rpm -qa | grep tacacs
tacacs+-F4.0.4.26-1.el6.x86_64

If file "/etc/logrotate.d/tac_plus" is added to the RPM this will mean the
tac_plus.log gets setup to be rotated automatically & can easily be
controlled within /etc/logrotate.d/logrotate.conf by the administrator if
required.

[11:37]:ls -lh /var/log/tac*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34153358204 Apr 17 03:31
/var/log/tac_plus.log-20160417
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  2715867172 Apr 24 03:16
/var/log/tac_plus.log-20160424

Create file:
/etc/logrotate.d/tac_plus

Add:
/var/log/tac_plus.log
/var/log/tac_plus.acct {
  rotate 4
  weekly
  compress
  missingok
  notifempty
  postrotate
        /etc/init.d/tacplus force-reload > /dev/null
  endscript
}


Pre-req for operation: CRON.DAILY

% cat /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

​

Regards
Elaine Doyle
