Hi Leo,
What distribution are you using? Sometimes the log4j.properties is packed
inside .jar file, which is picked first, so you need to explicitly give a
java option '-Dlog4j.configuration=path-to-your-log4j-file' in the
corresponding daemon flags.
For the benefit of the list archives: the log4j properties are being
set inside the hadoop daemon shell script (here is the relevant line,

Unfortunately, the log4j DRFA class doesn't seem to provide an easy
way to limit the number of files it creates. I would like to try
switching to RFA with set
