Ok I found the problem, but I am not sure of the fix...

The problem is that when the system boots, it puts a create mask on all of
the files in the log directory so it looks like:
rw-r--r-- 1 root adm  messages

So this means that the weblet package can 'read' the log files with no
problem.
After multicron.d is run and the log files are rotated, their permissions
change to:
rw-r----- 1 root adm  messages
rw-r----- 1 root adm  messages.0

Which means that the weblet package can no longer 'read' the logfiles.

I am not sure what the fix is as I don't know how to tell multicron to
change the umask on the files it creates?
Anyone?

Would this work:

42 6   * * * root -g adm -m 644 run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily

if I added it to /etc/crontab ??? or would this be wrong?
