logrotate entry for denyhosts

[Dan]

Binary package hint: denyhosts

IMO every daemon that has it's own /var/log file, should have a corresponding /etc/logrotate.d entry.

This is from the DenyHosts FAQ substituting invoke-rc.d for service in the pre/post rotate section.

# From http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#logrotate

# how many historical logs do you wish to keep
#rotate 5

# don't rotate empty logs
notifempty

# uncomment this if you want the file created with
# rw permissions for the root user and root group
#create 0600 root root

# uncomment this if you want to compress the rotated files
#compress

# uncomment this out if you want to rotate it each day
#daily

# uncomment this out if you want to rotate it each month
#monthly

# uncomment this if you want the logs to be capped at a
# certain size and then specify the size.
#size=64k

# this should match the DAEMON_LOG configuration setting of DenyHosts
/var/log/denyhosts {
        prerotate
                invoke-rc.d denyhosts stop
        endscript
        postrotate
                invoke-rc.d denyhosts start
        endscript
}

Marking as Resolved, given that the denyhosts package has had a logrotate script since version 2.5-1.
