Well, I'm sure they just keep logging to the files they have open. The fact that you changed the names of those files doesn't have any bearing on that. You need to send -HUP to the daemons to get them to close and reopen their logs. I would expect most Linux distributions to do this for you; for example, Fedora has snippets in /etc/logrotate.d: /var/log/kadmind.log { missingok notifempty monthly rotate 12 postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/kadmind.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } /var/log/krb5kdc.log { missingok notifempty monthly rotate 12 postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/krb5kdc.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } - J< ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
