Ok apparently I dont quite grawk what the problem is here.
I have a firewall box running secure level 3.
With ALL the log files in /var/log/* set with sappnd.
But newsyslog keeps spitting out:

From: root (Cron Daemon)
To: root
Subject: Cron <root@pm330> /usr/sbin/newsyslog
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>
Status: RO

newsyslog: can't start new log: Operation not permitted

I thought sappnd would allow root to append files. Do I have that part
right?

newsyslog cant rotate the logs. Does the /var/log dir need to be set
sappnd itself?

I guess ill go try that.

Thanks,
Chris
