Hi,
since the start of the daylight savings time my server has a problem with the log files. Sunday night the log files get rotated correctly, i.e. /var/log/messages gets /var/log.messages.1, /var/log/messages.1 get /var/log/messages.2, ... The problem now is that after log rotation new messages do no go to /var/log/messages, but to the rotated file. As DST started 3 weeks, the latest log entries now go to /var/log/messages.3. This happens to all other log files too. Even after rebooting the server new log entries go to /var/log/messages.3 instead of /var/log/messages.
Any ideas why this happens and how to fix this problem?
Now after another reboot nothing is logged at all anymore :-(( syslogd and klogd are running but nothing gets written to any logfile.
Best regards, Bernd.
