    Has anyone else had any trouble with the logrotate script working? My
    files are getting quite large and I don't have one compressed archive of
    older files. I did collapse my syslog server to write to only
    /var/log/messages and /var/log/mail. The script runs, but never rotates
    the files. Any ideas why? Here is some of my files:

    *ns1:/var/named/pz # cat /etc/logrotate.d/syslog *
    /var/log/messages {
        compress
        dateext
        maxage 365
        rotate 99
        missingok
        notifempty
        size +4096k
        create 640 root root
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
            /etc/init.d/syslog reload
        endscript
    }

    /var/log/mail {
        compress
        dateext
        maxage 365
        rotate 99
        missingok
        notifempty
        size +4096k
        create 640 root root
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
            /etc/init.d/syslog reload
        endscript
    }

    /var/log/clamd.log {
        compress
        dateext
        maxage 365
        rotate 99
        missingok
        notifempty
        size +2048k
        create 640 root root
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
            /etc/init.d/syslog reload
        endscript
    }

    *ns1:/var/named/pz # cat /etc/cron.daily/logrotate *
    #!/bin/sh

    /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
    /usr/bin/reswatch

    *ns1:/var/named/pz # cat /etc/logrotate.conf *
    # see "man logrotate" for details
    # rotate log files weekly
    weekly

    # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
    rotate 4

    # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
    create

    # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
    compress

    # uncomment these to switch compression to bzip2
    #compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
    #uncompresscmd /usr/bin/bunzip2

    # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
    include /etc/logrotate.d

    # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
    #/var/log/wtmp {
    # monthly
    # create 0664 root utmp
    # rotate 1
    #}

    # system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

    Thanks,
    Tim
