I notice that my /var/log/wtmp has strange renewal times. I don't
know when it was not like this. newsyslog.conf is set to renew this
once per week. What is causing this?
# ls -l /var/log/wtmp*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 0 Apr 29 12:00 /var/log/wtmp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 27 16:00 /var/log/wtmp.0.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 22 12:00 /var/log/wtmp.1.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 20 16:00 /var/log/wtmp.2.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 27 Apr 15 12:00 /var/log/wtmp.3.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 244 Apr 13 15:52 /var/log/wtmp.4.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 176 Apr 8 12:12 /var/log/wtmp.5.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 148 Apr 3 10:51 /var/log/wtmp.6.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 280 Mar 30 21:16 /var/log/wtmp.7.gz
It looks like there are several cycles of renewal,
Apr 8, 15, 22, 29 &
Apr 13, 20, 27.
