Hi folks, On all of the Debian squeeze servers with Kerberos (v1.8.3) that I manage, I've noticed that the Kerberos daemons start out writing to their designated log files, e.g. kdc.log, but once those log files are rotated they ignore the new empty ones and instead prefer to write only to the first rotated files, e.g. kdc.log.1. This is the case for both the krb5kdc and kadmin daemons.
If I restart the Kerberos daemons manually, they start writing to the correct log files. But, the next day, after the log files have been rotated, the new ones are empty and the daemons are still writing to the day-old ones. Has anyone else seen this behavior before? This is how my /etc/krb5.conf files are configured for logging: [logging] kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5/kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/krb5/kadmin.log default = FILE:/var/log/krb5/klib.log I use this /etc/logrotate.d/krb5 file for rotating those log files: /var/log/krb5/kadmin.log /var/log/krb5/kdc.log /var/log/krb5/klib.log { daily missingok rotate 7 compress delaycompress notifempty } In my case, a consequence of using "notifempty" is that the Kerberos log files are not rotated regularly and grow a bit larger than expected. Am I missing something, have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this a bug?
