Root-group is a old habit from Linux =) Changed from: /var/log/qpopper.log root:root 640 7 * @T00Z /var/log/proftp.log root:root 640 7 * @T00Z To: /var/log/qpopper.log root:wheel 640 7 * @T00Z /var/log/proftp.log root:wheel 640 7 * @T00Z BEST REGARDS/MVH PELLE ANDERSSON SYSTEM AND NETWORK ENGINEER SPD SYSTEMS AB WWW.SPD.NU -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: Matthew Seaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 1 mars 2004 15:16 Till: Pelle Andersson (SPD Systems AB) Kopia: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: Re: NewSysLog FBSD 4.9 On Mon, Mar 01, 2004 at 02:35:20PM +0100, Pelle Andersson (SPD Systems AB) wrote: Hi! ::NEWSYSLOG:: - I want to rotate and pack my logs for Qpopper and ProFTPD This is my lines in '/etc/newsyslog.conf': #--- /var/log/qpopper.log root:root 640 7 * @T00Z /var/log/proftp.log root:root 640 7 * @T00Z #--- It does not work =( No error messages or anything.
