I'm currently using Hardy and I can still reproduce it. You should be able to test easily with these steps:
As root, run this (or edit syslog.conf accordingly): # echo -e "\t*.*\t\t\t/var/log/everything.log" >>/etc/syslog.conf Run: $ /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles --weekly Is the command returns *.* as a log file then the problem is still present. This is pretty nasty because this cause hard to catch problems and the root cause is not evident either. This is very likely an error in the regexp syslogd-listfiles use but I haven't looked at it yet. -- Bug in syslogd-listfiles causing insane log rotation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
