Hi,

I recently removed a couple of lines from newsyslog.conf, and now every 
hour I'm getting an email from cron telling me that newsyslog complained 
about the lines which are now deleted!

There is definately only one config file, and if I run newsyslog from 
command line, it exits without a problem and running it in verbose, it 
doesn't see the two lines.  Is there something about the cronned 
newsyslog that's different?

Oddly, the actual error is a mis-interpretation to do with the size 
field (it is reading the time/date field).

Any ideas on this?

Thanks
Daren
