It even says it's working! Which version of logrotate are you actually using? Is it from the Debian archive? Are ACLs enabled on the filesystem with /var/log on it? Are you running with selinux enabled? Which MTA are you using and does it have its own logrotate script? I'm inclined to think this is a misconfiguration rather than a fault in logrotate. Does your amavis log get the same permissions breakage? The other possibility is that there's a race condition between logrotate and syslog-ng... Is that /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng the stock one or did you modify it? -- Paul Martin <p...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
