Hi Folks,
I have noticed the following anomaly about the daily log rotation. If I
understand correctly, logs declared in the variable lrp_LOGS_DAILY in
lrp.conf are to be rotated daily. Well, what I have found is that some days
some logs get rotated while others don't.
lrp_LOGS_DAILY="daemon.log debug cron.log messages syslog user.log \
ppp.log pslave.log shorewall.log"
I have had the router up for 3 days 19 hours, so there should have been
three or four rotations, but this are the logs I have at this moment.
cron.log: (ps -A shows cron running)
cron.log, cron.log.0, cron.log.1, cron.log.2.gz are EMPTY
cron.log.3.gz contains events up too March 16 6:42 AM (last log entry is CMD
(run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily))
(there seems that there have been 4 rotations but that logging has stopped
when the log was compressed, it is still probably logging to a unlinked
cron.log.3 o .2 file).
shorewall.log:
shorewall.log.0, shorewall.log.1, shorewall.log.2.gz, shorewall.log.3.gz are
EMPTY
shorewall.log contains every single event from startup (Mar 14 15:32 UTC -
Mar 18 11:27)
messages.log, syslog, auth.log, sh-httpd.log:
Same as with shorewall.log
debug, daemon.log:
Same as with cron.log
As I write this mail I notice that all the logs declared before cron behave
in one way, and after cron they behave in a different way.
I was wondering if this problem is specific to rc2 and has been solved in
the release version (there are no notes about this in the changelog), or if
someone else has run into it.
I am about to upgrade to the release version 2.1.0, and I was wondering if
there is a way to upgrade and keep the current configuration other than
finding out what files I have modified, save them manually, upgrade the
packages, and restore the saved files (hoping configuration settings remain
valid for all packages from one version to another).
Other than that, this is the only little problem I found, the firewall runs
perfectly, and cheers to all LEAF and Bering developers.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto Lublinerman.
PD: Forgive my awkward way of phrasing things, you have probably noticed
that English is not my native language.
