For a while I've been getting this in my daily reports: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: /etc/logrotate.conf:26 missing end of line It appears to originate from my CentOS server (though since client root mail goes there I can't be certain. The headers don't suggest client origin, to me). I've checked the logrotate.conf script and it looks OK to the untrained eye. It ends with an empty line. Any clue as to what I should be checking?

If you modified it, check maybe if you don't miss a '}' somewhere. If you did not, maybe try 'rpm -V logrotate' to see it if is the original.

Duh! I'd been cat'ing /etc/cron.daily/logrotate, I think, and it looked original, so I assumed that the changes I made some time back had been reversed. 'vi /etc/logrotate.conf' showed me that the changes were still there, and contrary to my memory of making them, there was no end-of-line. That's fixed, so hopefully the messages will go away.

Thanks for the much-needed kick up the..... :-)
