Bug#695301: openvpn: Fails to install a logrotate.d entry
2012/12/6 Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta a...@inittab.org: As far as I know, openvpn does not create that log file, unless you told it to. In that case, it's not a bug in the package... That's my experience too. By default 'openvpn' will log to /var/log/syslog which is handled automatically. If you've set a custom log file then you must manually add a logrotate entry. I'm not sure but on restart the log file could also be truncated if you use --log instead of --log-append.

Cheers Apparently, this is the case - I apparently set this up for debugging and forgot about it long enough to get 45GB. IMO it probably should be set up to log out-of-the-box as well, but I bet that won't happen either - most people are going to have to turn logging on at some point to debug and it really belongs in it's own log file.. -- Karl Schmidt EMail k...@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
