On machine A newsyslog rolls over the log files perfectly, on Machine B I get the message /var/log/auth.log.0: No such file or directory The newsyslog.conf entries are : MACHINE A : /var/log/auth.log 600 7 100 * Z MACHINE B: /var/log/auth.log 600 7 100 $W6D0 Z An ls of the /var/log directory yields ls -ltr auth* -rw------- 1 root wheel 97872 Dec 11 00:00 auth.log.1 -rw------- 1 root wheel 95 Dec 11 00:00 auth.log.0.gz -rw------- 1 root wheel 176 Dec 11 09:42 auth.log I have looked relevant permissions and files sizes on both machines and they are identical. Can anyone suggest what the problem is? Is the time entry the issue ... I just copied it from another entry in the newsyslog.conf file. With thanks
