system logs not getting rotated



ii  logrotate      3.5.9-7        Log rotation utility

For several weeks now my system logs have not been getting rotated. All
logging is going to the .0 files. syslog, daemon.log, auth.log, etc.
remain at zero length and syslog.0, daemon.log.0, auth.log.0, etc keep
growing. If I reboot logging goes to the correct file until the first
rotation.

Is this a config problem or is there a problem with whichever program
(logrotate?) does the rotating? Doesn't klogd need to be told to close
the old file and open the new one? Where does that happen?

I find no reference to these files in either logrotate.d or
logrotate.conf nor in the system crontabs. Where is this setup?

this option . . . solely to satisfy the convenience of another
citizen, is to legitimize an act of plunder and to violate the
