[LDM #YWU-538195]: AIX Rotate Syslog

Jeff,

I don't know. We've never used the AIX syslog.conf "rotate" parameter because 
it's non-standard.

The LDM system's mechanism for rotating log files can be disabled in LDM 6.9 
and later packages by setting the registry parameter "/log/rotate" to 0 via the 
command "regutil -u 0 /log/rotate" and in LDM 6.8 and earlier packages by 
editing the file "etc/ldmadmin-pl.conf" and setting the parameter "$log_rotate" 
to 0. You must also ensure that the command "ldmadmin newlog" is never executed 
(by a crontab(1) entry, for example).
