I notice that my /var/log/wtmp has strange renewal times. I don't know when it was not like this. newsyslog.conf is set to renew this once per week. What is causing this? # ls -l /var/log/wtmp* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 0 Apr 29 12:00 /var/log/wtmp -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 27 16:00 /var/log/wtmp.0.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 22 12:00 /var/log/wtmp.1.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 20 16:00 /var/log/wtmp.2.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 15 12:00 /var/log/wtmp.3.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 244 Apr 13 15:52 /var/log/wtmp.4.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 176 Apr 8 12:12 /var/log/wtmp.5.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 148 Apr 3 10:51 /var/log/wtmp.6.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 280 Mar 30 21:16 /var/log/wtmp.7.gz It looks like there are several cycles of renewal, Apr 8, 15, 22, 29 & Apr 13, 20, 27. # grep wtmp /etc/newsyslog.conf /var/log/wtmp 644 7 * 168 ZB # uptime 8:57AM up 17 days, 17:06, 5 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.05, 0.02 I am running -current of April 12. # uname -a FreeBSD celebris 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0:\ Thu Apr 12 19:30:44 PDT 2001\ root@celebris:/usr/src/sys/compile/CELEBRIS i386 tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
