Most system daemons do not re-read logfiles automatically. You have to
send them the HUP (hangup) signal. So take a look for a
/var/run/syslogd.pid file and then 

kill -HUP [syslog-PID]

If you have a RedHat box, take a look at /etc/logrotate.conf and "man
logrotate"--should tell you what you want.
