I have two gentoo machines, my primary one and one I cloned off of that.
The original gentoo machine has lots of nice /var/log/syslog.1.gz, etc. files. The clone has one big /var/log/syslog file. I now have logrotate installed in both machines. I see that the original has cronie installed and an /etc/cron.daily/logrotate file, but that corresponding /etc/logrotate configuration file does not list any of the important syslog, kern.log, etc files. When I do as /etc/cron.daily/logrotate does: sudo /usr/bin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf I get debug output that shows it does only what /etc/logrotate.conf tells it to do. And syslog, etc. are not touched. Could it be that there's another facility that's doing that work?
