Biggest headache is that /var/log/auth.log and vsftpd.log do not rotate :-(

Fix this by creating /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd:

/var/log/vsftpd.log {
    weekly
    sharedscripts
    missingok
    notifempty
    postrotate
    /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
}

Edit the portion of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng to look like this:

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.logrotate.hardened,v 1.3 2010/04/05 22:19:33 zorry Exp $
