Logs weirdness
Have just found something on my woody system that seems weird.
Latest upgrade of fwlogwatch doesn't report any firewall messages so I
was checking it out. In /var/log all of the main log files are empty.
ie messages, syslog, kern, ppp, etc. _but_ there are now .0 logs that
are, in fact, current. I also noticed that the plog command isn't
working. duh
If I symlink /var/log/messages to /var/log/messages.0 fwlogwatch works
and if I symlink /var/log/ppp.log to /var/log/ppp.log.0 it also works
correctly.
So my question are:
Am I the only one seeing this?
Did I somehow screw the logging up? (/etc/syslog.conf doesn't have
*.log.0 entries)
dpkg -l shows only syslog-summary & klogd installed, Humm, wonder if I
need to install syslog-common ? Seems like something wasn't upgraded
correctly.
