Hi! The change was made by Andreas Klemm as described in PR#7050. I like this change, but it has a bug. The /etc/security script runs daily, and every time it is running it looks "login failures" and "refused connect" in /var/log/messages. Suppose, I have the following line in my /etc/newsyslog.conf: /var/log/messages 664 5 * 168 Z It means that my /var/log/messages rotates once a week. Then, if I had "login failure" message on Monday, I'll get the same message during the whole week until the next log rotation. In the second case I have /var/log/messages rotating several times a day. Then I will see the warning messages from latest log only. Anyone has an idea how to fix?
