Hi Everyone

What is the best way to go about rotating the postgres security log file on postgresql 7.4.11 under openbsd 3.7?

I got it to work logging to a file but as soon as the file rotates the new log is dead. Would reloading the postmaster after the log rotation resolve this?

I also was not able to get it to log to syslog. Maybe I missed something here. Any help would be kindly appreciated
