Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

This attribute sets the total number of error logs that can be contained in the directory where the

error log is stored. Each time the error log is rotated, a new log file is created. When the number

of files contained in the error log directory exceeds the value stored on this attribute, then the

oldest version of the log file is deleted. The default is 1 log. If this default is accepted, the server

does not rotate the log, and it grows indefinitely.

If the value for this attribute is higher than 1, then check the

nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute to establish whether log rotation is specified. If

the nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime attribute has a value of -1, then there is no log

rotation. See Section 3.1.52, “nsslapd-errorlog-logrotationtime (Error Log Rotation Time)” for

more information.

3.1.56. nsslapd-errorlog-mode (Error Log File Permission)

This attribute sets the access mode or file permissions with which error log files are to be

created. The valid values are any combination of 000 to 777 since they mirror numbered or

absolute UNIX file permissions. That is, the value must be a combination of a 3-digit number,

the digits varying from 0 through 7:

• 0 - None

• 1 - Execute only

• 2 - Write only

• 3 - Write and execute

• 4 - Read only

• 5 - Read and execute

• 6 - Read and write

• 7 - Read, write, and execute

In the 3-digit number, the first digit represents the owner's permissions, the second digit

represents the group's permissions, and the third digit represents everyone's permissions.

When changing the default value, remember that 000 does not allow access to the logs and that
