Hi and thanks!
It works fine now, find the problem with the newsyslog -v command.
It told me, unknown group 'root'.
Offcorce, Im so stupid. Root-group is
a old habit from Linux =3D)
Changed from:
> /var/log/qpopper.log root:root 640 7 * @T00 Z
> /var/log/proftp.log root:root 640 7 * @T00 Z=20
To:
> /var/log/qpopper.log root:wheel 640 7 * @T00 Z
> /var/log/proftp.log root:wheel 640 7 * @T00 Z =20

Hmmm... that looks fine to me. What happens if you run:
# newsyslog -v
I assume that newsyslog is actually running every hour -- that's the =
default
from the system crontab:
% grep newsyslog /etc/crontab
0 * * * * root newsyslog
and that the other system logs are all being cycled as intended.
Cheers,
Matthew
