RE: Implementing LDAP logging

Thanks for the reply.

I think for log rotation we need to specify the rotation policies for ldaplog file in /etc/logadm.conf.

I am currently trying this out and if it worked then will let you know.

Not all syslog implementations automatically rotate files. You haven't specified

Probably not.

How are your other logs rotated? By logrotate (e.g. see /etc/logrotate.d)? If 
so, you should ensure that your logrotate utility is configured to rotate this 
log as well.

However, this doesn't really have anything to do with OpenLDAP per se.
