I delted 30 from that line. Now it looks like this. /var/squid/logs/access.log _squid:_squid 640 14 * @T00 Z /var/squid/logs/squid.pid
Now it seems to work # newsyslog -v -F /var/cron/log <3Z>: size (KB): 664.08 [10] --> trimming log.... /var/log/authlog <7Z>: age (hr): 435 [168] --> trimming log.... /var/log/daemon <5Z>: size (KB): 26.76 [30] --> trimming log.... /var/log/lpd-errs <7Z>: size (KB): 0.00 [10] --> trimming log.... /var/log/maillog <4Z>: --> trimming log.... /var/log/messages <4Z>: --> trimming log.... /var/log/secure <7Z>: age (hr): 461 [168] --> trimming log.... /var/log/wtmp <7B>: --> trimming log.... /var/log/xferlog <7Z>: size (KB): 0.00 [250] --> trimming log.... /var/log/pflog <3ZB>: size (KB): 1557278.09 [250] --> trimming log.... /var/squid/logs/access.log <14Z>: --> trimming log....
