Just a hint in case you plan on running a web statistics program over
the access log: add 'B' to the flags column for 'httpd-access.log',
resulting in 'BZ'. This will omit the 'logfile turned over due to ...'
lines generated by 'newsyslog', which the statistics program may
otherwise complain about.
