>Description:
After I upgraded to 4.7, I started noticing an occasional
nastygram on the console, saying /var/log/auth.log was
missing. Looking in /var/log.dist and /var/log, I found
that, indeed, it had gone AWOL during the move.
This was my mistake, but why doesn't this log file
regenerate itself at need?
>How-To-Repeat:
# rm /var/log/auth.log
# sync
# sync
# reboot
