It would be bad to change the default behavior, but there have been several people who wished for some option for newsyslog which would make it use some alternate naming scheme. There's at least one PR about it, for instance. It is on my list of things to do, but I've had a long stretch of time where I have too many things on that list. I wouldn't go for a naming scheme that's as long as the above suggestion, though. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
