>Description:
There is a field "ngen" in newsyslog.conf that is supposed to be the number
of copies of the log to save. There is no difference in the behaviour
of newsyslog if this field is set to one or zero.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set ngen to zero in /etc/newsyslog.conf, run newsyslog and get copies of log
file anyway.
