How do you modify the length of time before a log file is compressed and 
a new one started?  I've read the man pages on syslog, syslog.conf, and 
syslogd.  They tell no clues.  I've also scanned through O'Reilly System 
Admin. and PTR Unix System Admin. Handbook.  Still I have no clues as to 
which conf file or any file of that matter that would have this 
information.  If anyone has any knowledge it would be greatly 
appreciated.

Sincerely
James A. Tucker
