[hobbit] Hobbit logs

[Ryan Jay B. Lapuz]

Yes, FC6 has a default setup for log rotation. Other logs inside the 
/var/log/ directory are rotating. So, I think it will work now for the 
Hobbit logs.
Maybe your right that the package I used before had set that up for me, and 
the package that I used for my new Hobbit server did not.
Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Ryan
