Have just found something on my woody system that seems weird. Latest upgrade of fwlogwatch doesn't report any firewall messages so I was checking it out. In /var/log all of the main log files are empty. ie messages, syslog, kern, ppp, etc. _but_ there are now .0 logs that are, in fact, current. I also noticed that the plog command isn't working. duh
If I symlink /var/log/messages to /var/log/messages.0 fwlogwatch works and if I symlink /var/log/ppp.log to /var/log/ppp.log.0 it also works correctly. So my question are: Am I the only one seeing this? Did I somehow screw the logging up? (/etc/syslog.conf doesn't have *.log.0 entries) dpkg -l shows only syslog-summary & klogd installed, Humm, wonder if I need to install syslog-common ? Seems like something wasn't upgraded correctly. -- "APL is a write-only language.
