Known and discussed on this list before. newsyslog is rotates the accounting logs, but does not do them on the 1st of the month. /etc/monthly processes the "last" accounting log as it were a monthly, but is usually only a couple of weeks. See /etc/newsylog.conf and /etc/monthly Obvious fix is to move rotation from /etc/newsyslog.conf to /etc/monthly I think this is done in 2.2.6-stable, but /etc/ does not get updated automatically.
