Hello, I have installed the Syslog-ng port and I do not seem to get the rotation of the logfiles right. Newsyslog has /var/run/syslog.pid hardcoded as it's pid file, so I already configured this as the pid file for syslog-ng. But at rotation newsyslog doesn't zip the logfiles as stated in my /etc/newsyslog.conf file. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong here? When I used the syslog daemon from FreeBSD eveything worked ok (that means with the rotation the logfiles were zipped). root@charlie OLD # uname -a FreeBSD charlie.socruel.nu 4.9-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p10 #0: Sun Jun 20 20:59:05 CEST 2004 root@charlie.socruel.nu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CHARLIE i386 root@charlie OLD # less /etc/newsyslog.conf ######################################################################## # # # Filename : /etc/newsyslog.conf # Description : Configuration file for newsyslog # #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - # Revision History # # Date Initiator Description # 04/11/27 Lars Changed stuff, v. 0.11 # 03/06/14 Lars Creation, v. 0.1 # ######################################################################## # # Format : # logfilename [owner.group] mode count size when [ZB] [/pid_file] [sig_num] /var/log/messages root.wheel 600 12 * $M1D0 Z /var/log/cron.log root.wheel 600 28 * $D0 Z=20 /var/log/su.log root.wheel 600 28 * $D0 Z /var/log/mail.log root.wheel 600 12 * $M1D0 Z /var/log/daemon.log root.wheel 600 12 * $M1D0 Z ######################################################################## # # # File : /etc/crontab # Description : root's crontab for FreeBSD. # #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - # Revision History # # Date Initiator Description # 04/10/24 Lars Added freshclam, v. 0.11 # 03/06/14 Lars Creation, v. 0.1 # ######################################################################## # # #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - # Define some variables #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - SHELL=3D/bin/sh PATH=3D/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin HOME=3D/var/log MAILTO=3D"" # #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - # The default FreeBSD stuff ... #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - # #minute hour mday month wday who command # */5 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun # # rotate log files every hour, if necessary 0 * * * * root newsyslog -a /var/log/OLD # # do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance #1 3 * * * root periodic daily #15 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly #30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly # # time zone change adjustment for wall cmos clock, # does nothing, if you have UTC cmos clock. # See adjkerntz(8) for details. 1,31 0-5 * * * root adjkerntz -a # #----------------------------------------------------------------------- - ######################################################################## # # # File : charlie:/etc/rc.conf # Description : Startup configuration file.
