Logrotate and Selinux

[Ian Marks]

I am trying to set logrotate to rotate specific syslogged files outside 
of /var/log.  My application is logging under /opt/app_name/log/.  To 
allow syslog to be able to log/wite to this file, I had to set the 
appropriate context to user_u:object_r:var_log_t.  Since the file isn't 
under /var/log, I don't think the context will be preserved once it's 
been rotated, thus preventing syslog from writing to the file. Has 
anyone tested this before?

Thanks,
Ian
