I have this in my /var/log/ directory:
==============================
-rw-r----- 1 root root 116223 Jun 3 18:08 daemon.log
==============================
In addition, check the extract from my /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
(which created the daemon.log file in the first place):
==============================
options {
chain_hostnames(off);
sync(0);
perm(0640);
dir_perm(0750);
create_dirs(yes);
[snip . . . ]
stats(43200);
};
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
source kernsrc { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
[snip . . . ]
destination daemon { file("/var/log/daemon.log"); };
[snip . . . ]
#create filters
filter f_daemon { facility(daemon); };
[snip . . . ]
#connect filter and destination
log { source(src); filter(f_daemon); destination(daemon); };
==============================
Adding this in /etc/logrotate.conf ensures that the
/var/log/daemon.log file size does not get out of hand:
==============================
# when /var/log/daemon.log gets big
/var/log/daemon.log
{
rotate 1
weekly
size=1M
}
==============================
Of course the latter is only relevant if you are using logrotate.
HTH.
