  Known and discussed on this list before.

  newsyslog is rotates the accounting logs, but does not do them on the
1st of the month.  /etc/monthly processes the "last" accounting log as it
were a monthly, but is usually only a couple of weeks.

  See /etc/newsylog.conf and /etc/monthly

  Obvious fix is to move rotation from /etc/newsyslog.conf to /etc/monthly
I think this is done in 2.2.6-stable, but /etc/ does not get updated
automatically.
