Hi all,

I want to roll my /var/log/security log daily, but I'm wondering what
the behavior of IPFW is when you move the log.  

Has anyone done this?  I'm just wondering what happens when you "steal"
the logfile to move it to a new name, and I can't experiment since the
box is live.

TIA,
Tony Wells
