Subject: [PATCH] logrotate: Rotate wtmp files monthly, and keep them for a year
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 17:15:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230914171501.566632-1-peter.mueller@ipfire.org> (raw)

This prevents "last" being rendered unusable, and allows
for better and faster auditing of previous logins.

Fixes: #13322
