You have got to start reading the man pages, Rod.  For example,
the man page for logrotate tells you that if "compress" is in the
/etc/logrotate.conf file, then old log files are compressed by gzip
by default.

If you edit /etc/logrotate.conf, you'll see that "compress" is commented
out.  Change the line:

	#compress

to

	compress

and the rotated logs will be compressed.  If you'd rather compress
using something like bzips, then add the line:

	compresscmd bzip2

after it, e.g.

	compress
	compresscmd bzip2
