I am running 2.2.2-RELEASE. Here is my newsyslog.conf: # configuration file for newsyslog # $Id: newsyslog.conf,v 1.6.2.1 1997/02/05 14:18:24 mpp Exp $ # # logfilename owner.group mode count size time [ZB] /var/cron/log 600 3 100 * Z /var/log/amd.log 664 7 100 * Z /var/log/kerberos.log 664 7 100 * Z /var/log/lpd-errs 664 7 100 * Z /var/log/maillog 664 7 * 24 Z /var/log/messages 664 7 50 * Z /var/log/slip.log 600 3 100 * Z /var/log/ppp.log 600 3 100 * Z /var/log/wtmp 664 7 * 168 ZB # Added by Scott /var/log/sshd_log 644 7 100 * ZB /var/log/sshd_refused 644 14 * 24 ZB /var/log/tcp_log 644 7 100 * ZB /var/log/tcp_refused 644 14 * 24 ZB /var/log/smap_log 644 7 100 * ZB /var/log/nmb 644 3 100 * ZB /var/log/smb 644 3 100 * ZB All the preset rotations work fine. All the ones that I added that are supposed to be rotated every 24 hours (sshd_refused and tcp_refused) seem to get rotated twice a day. I have removed all the old files hoping that it was just getting caught on an old time stamp but it didn't seem to matter. Any ideas? Also, I looked at the man page for newsyslog and couldn't find anything on whether you could set it up to rotate on every xK or x hours, which ever was first. Before I try it has anyone already tried and suceeded/failed? Thanks in advance, Scott
