That's one way to do it, but these will get overwritten by the GUI if you
make changes to the site Quota. The only way around it is to edit the cobalt
scripts to your liking, which is what we have done.

On our Raq2 this is the file that the GUI uses to configure the logrotate
scripts in /etc/logrotate.d and /etc/logrotate.onboot:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cobalt/Vsite/vsite_set_logrotate.al

I suppose it may be a different script on the Raq3's and 4's, but I don't
have one to look around on. As usual, YMMV, use at your own risk, this will
void your lame warranty, yada, yada, yada.

HTH,
