Thanks for replying. The above link, as far as I can see, relates to conflict between syslogd and logrotate, in a situation where one wants to change the rotation interval. I would be happy with mail.log et al being rotated weekly as per default, but even that doesn't work.
nuts:/var/log# syslogd-listfiles --weekly /var/log/mail.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/messages /var/log/lpr.log /var/log/auth.log /var/log/debug /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.info /var/log/kern.log /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/uucp.log /var/log/user.log I wonder if cron is even running. :-O Antony
