ive posted on this issue a few times. i believe it to be a bug, most of my systems are potato and potato is affected as well. last time i installed potato, logrotate was part of the default install (i.e. when prompted to select software, don't tell it anything and it installs logrotate). because of this, logrotate(IMO) should be used for all logrotations. so (IMO) it is a bug in the sysklogd package as well as a bug in the radius server(forget which one im using) package as well, as it does it's own rotations. it took me forever to track that issue down. i have since moved to syslog servers which are actually freebsd systems so i don't worry about the log rotation on the debian boxes anymore. there are probably more packages that do their own log rotation as well ..radius and syslog are the only 2 i have noticed sofar. nate
