On my old server the logs are rotated and compressed without any problems. The old server runs FreeBSD 4.9. The new server runs FreeBSD 4.10, and I'm getting the following errors reported by Cron ------- newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 84000: Operation not permitted newsyslog: log /var/log/maillog.0 not compressed because daemon(s) not notified newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 43506: Operation not permitted newsyslog: log /var/log/ssl_engine_log.0 not compressed because daemon(s) not notified ... ------ pid 84000 refers to /usr/sbin/syslogd -s pid 43506 refers to /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL I cannot see any difference in way I have setup newsyslog and am at a loss to know how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA Graeme
