I do have that cronjob, and in /etc/logrotate.d there's a syslog file, which indeed says that /var/log/messages should be rotated weekly...
But still it doesn't happen... Maybe it's a permission problem? These are the relevant permissions: drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Nov 17 10:38 log/ -rw-r----- 1 root adm 36865711 Nov 17 18:24 messages Are those the same with you?
