It should be fixed in the last release of sysklogd package,
by replacing all global * (as in /var/log/daemons/*) in the
syslog conf file placed in /etc/logrotate.d by explicit
base names of log files.
A patch had been applied to prevent logrotate from rotating
compressed archives but that
logrotate stills runs "forever". something is
very wrong.
This was a known issue solved a while ago. The
problem lies in two sections of
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog beginning with:
/var/log/mail/*
and
/var/log/news/*
These lines rotate all the files in those
directories, including the files
logrotate 3.3-8mdk (and 6mdk for that matter), run forever and never
end. I have this set up as part of my /etc/cron.dailyRunning it
with "-d" I get the "reading" the various configs and lots of disk I/O.
logrotate is taking 94% of the CPU and 20% of memory. I had not noticed
this
I am deleting /var/log/news as I type this. It is taking a while. I
don't even run a news server and can't recall when I last looked in this
directory.
thx for the idea I'll see it this clears things up
