Just a hint in case you plan on running a web statistics program over 
the access log: add 'B' to the flags column for 'httpd-access.log', 
resulting in 'BZ'.  This will omit the 'logfile turned over due to ...' 
lines generated by 'newsyslog', which the statistics program may 
otherwise complain about.
