For the past two days, I have received this message from Cron Daemon
with the subject title "Cron <root@dads> nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily";

error: syslog:22 duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I remember a couple of nights ago, while playing some yahoo games (java) my
MD8.2 system locked up completly, ctrl-alt-del nor ctrl-alt-backspace could
recover it so I had to reboot - which in turned fsck had to be run because
of some errors it found during boot.  

That all went smooth (appears to) and mandrake "fixed" itself??  correct
term?

But now this message about duplicate entries, what does it mean?
I looked thru /etc/cron.daily and did not find any duplicate entries.
Contents of /etc/cron.daily;
0anacron
logrotate
makewhatis.cron
medusa.cron
msec
postfix
rpm
slocate.cron
tmpwatch

There is nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time those messages were sent
except for the postfix messages about sending the messages. Also appears
that syslog hasn't been rotated for some time now, since Aug 4th.

Does anybody have an idea what this error message means and how to fix it
and also where I can find some listing of what the error codes mean?

TIA
Steve
