What causes the secure logs to be rotated as in /var/log/secure? I don't
see any entries in crontab.

Thanks,

David

Depends on your distro.
look at:
/etc/crontab if it does a "run-parts" script on /etc/cron.daily
then there should be /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

look also at /etc/logrotate.conf if any.

How log rotation is handled varies between distributions, so you need
to say which distribution you are using (or ask on a list for that
particular distribution).

If you're using newsyslog (not to be confused with syslog-ng), that
has built-in log rotation.

man logrotate.

The logrotate should be called from /etc/cron.daily. The configuration
should be under /etc/logrotate.conf, as well as /etc/logrotate.d/* Which
has specific instructions for the various logfiles.
