I wanted the ability for a port to have a rotating log policy so I wrote a patch for newsyslog to implement includes of other newsyslog.conf style files. Please find the patch at: http://people.freebsd.org/~gordon/patches/newsyslog.diff<http://people.freebsd.org/%7Egordon/patches/newsyslog.diff>; Format for the include line in /etc/newsyslog.conf is: <include> /etc/defaults/newsyslog.conf Here's a quick overview of the changes: Convert the conf_entry struct from using a home rolled linked list to the queue(3) macros. Add a STAILQ to process include files. Add support for <include> tag to specify include files. Globbing is supported in <include> statements. Properly detect circular include loop dependencies. Please take a look and send me any comments you might have. Thanks, Gordon
