hi,

one eagle-eyed member spotted a small issue with our systems after the upgrade 
to 2.1.10
(which, frankly I'd overlooked because to me its more important that people can 
actually
authenticate and we've got good accounting etc :-) )

anyway, its this.

the standard radius.log file which records a few items of interest is no longer 
logrotated
correctly....ie logrotate comes along, the file gets a new number/name and a 
new file
is created for radiusd to keep using...except it doesnt. in the end you end up 
with eg

radius.log.5
radius.log.4
radius.log.3
radius.log.2
radius.log.1
radius.log


where all the newer ones are zero bytes and radius.log.5 is several meg in size

the sudden obvious fix is to add the HUP/restart part to the logrotate script 
but
we've never ever had to do this in the past...and I'm loathe to do such a 
thing...i wonder
what has changed regarding file handling ?
