            Bug ID: 237610
           Summary: newsyslog include any files from newsyslog.conf.d,
                    which may be unwanted
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: odavydenko at gmail.com

newsyslog include all from directories /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and
/usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ including files that do not need to be
processed - e.g. previous versions with .bak suffix or temporary disabled by
renaming.

Better to change the default /etc/newsyslog.conf to include only *.conf files
instead of all by replacing
<include> /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*
<include> /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*
with:
<include> /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*.conf
<include> /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/*.conf
