Hello On a FreeBSD 6.3 server sitting in a corner of the office not doing much work, I noticed that /var/log/messages was turned over and has been empty since 26 June: # tail /var/log/messages Jun 26 16:00:00 freebsd newsyslog[5320]: logfile turned over due to size>100K # ll /var/log/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 78 26 jui 16:00 messages -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8396 26 jui 16:00 messages.0.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8329 30 mar 11:00 messages.1.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8663 2 mar 2009 messages.2.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9640 20 déc 2008 messages.3.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6554 17 oct 2008 messages.4.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5825 17 oct 2008 messages.5.bz2 (jui = June, jul = July) I don't have enough experience with FreeBSD to understand the cause for this, and how to solve it, so would appreciate any suggestion. Thank you.
