Re: logs

You should see log files like messages.1, etc in /var/log. These should
hold earlier days log files. Thanks.

Hi all,
I'me trying to locate logs for the 27 & 28th of may on my linux
box.When
I look I /var/log/messages I only see logs back to the 29th of may.Is
there some where that linux stores old logs?.am I correct in thinking
that by default logs are kept for 4 weeks.In my logrotate.conf file I
have the following  
/var/log/wtmp  {

    monthly
    rotate  1
}

Does this mean my logs are kept for 4weeks, if so where can I fing old
logs, what does rotate 1 mean?, any help much appreciated.

Rgds.

Harry.
