logrotate syslog systemd = doesn't work

[Lucas]

Dear All.

Fedora 16 Beta, fully updated.



I checked it: logrotate -v -d /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

Output:
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler 
/var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron  1048576 bytes (no old logs will be kept)

removing old log /var/log/messages.1
error: error opening /var/log/messages.1: No such file or directory

Nothing happened to "messages" - this file was not renamed.


2.  "ps -ef | grep log"  gives me

root      2672     1  0 14:58 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5

But from man page:

-c version. ...It must always be the first option on the command line....

-n     Avoid auto-backgrounding.  This is needed especially if the rsyslogd is started and 
controlled by init(8)

What does mean "5" at the end?



Actually logrotate doesn't work, although its output looks promising.

Any suggestions.
Thanks.
