Looks like the processes logging to these files are not being HUPped when the logs are rotated. Try doing a service $foo reload or restart for each service. No idea why that should have stopped working though unless something's wrong with logrotate itself. Try verifying the logrotate package (with rpm -V)? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
