Hi, discovered that the maillog file on my freebsd Desktop grows and grows (now at 50MB). According to the newsyslog.conf file it should be trimmed every night at midnight. /var/log/maillog 640 7 * @T00 JC Is it a prerequisite, that the system then runs 24x7 so that the newsyslog default settings work ? I would have expected, that the trimming then happens on the next reboot, if the system doesn't run over midnight.
