Ouch... is this a Debian 'invention', or do other distros use it? Anybody care to enlighten me why this is good? Some pointers to a maillist discussion maybe? How can it be disabled without messing with /etc/syslog.conf ? I looked at /etc/cron.*/sysklogd, and there is a syslogd-listfiles script, which lists some logfiles to be rotated. gi...@ds9:/etc/cron.daily$ syslogd-listfiles /var/log/syslog gi...@ds9:/etc/cron.daily$ syslogd-listfiles -w /var/log/user.log /var/log/debug /var/log/pdns.log /var/log/mail.err /var/log/lpr.log /var/log/kern.log The first list is the list of daily rotated logfiles, notice the /var/log/mail.* missing, and only mail.err is in the second list (to be rotated weekly). So I still don't know where the mail.log, mail.info and mail.warn get rotated. -- Imre Gergely Yahoo!: gergelyimre ICQ#: 101510959 MSN: gergely_imre GoogleTalk: gergelyimre gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x34525305 -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
