Topic

Description
The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log

mailing of log files.
This erratum addresses the following bugs:
- Logrotate cannot execute any script if /tmp was mounted using noexec.
- The description of the logrotate "extension" option in man page
logrotate(8) did not correspond with the real behavior.
All users of logrotate should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
