It is a bug with the standard Redhat. 7.3 rpms. The mgetty file in /etc/logrotate.d contains: /var/log/mgetty.log.tty* I guess the reason for this is to rotate the modem logs on all serial ports, but it wasn't well thought through. I just changed mine to /var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS1 (as I only use the one serial port), I guess that works....
