not dumb if it helps me fix the problem :)
currently the global config has it to rotate weekly.
according to the manpage for logrotate:
Each configuration file can set
global options (local definitions override global ones,
and later definitions override earlier ones) and specify a
logfile to rotate.
sorry it took so long to reply ive been busy!! i just
checked again after i made those modifications and the logs
have again been rotated several times(more then once
a week):
backup-wa:/var/log/radacct/ras-ca# ls -l
total 20
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1316 Sep 24 09:24 detail
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 5260 Sep 24 02:05 detail.0
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 522 Sep 22 21:53 detail.1.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 29 Sep 21 06:40 detail.2.gz
just for kicks here is my entire logrotate.conf:
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# send errors to root
errors root
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/log/radacct/ras-ca/detail {
size=10000k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
/var/log/radacct/ras-nh/detail {

create 0664 root adm

endscript
}
/var/log/radacct/cis-vpn-wa.mysite.com/detail {

postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
/var/log/radacct/cis-vpn-ca.mysite.com/detail {
size=10000k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
