At least when used in conjuction with =net-firewall/shorewall-3.2.9, the shorewall logs seems to have leading zero in date for days that are less than 10: > May 06 00:20:54 [kernel] Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= .... ^---leading zero but other logs are without leading zeroes, eg: > May 6 00:21:54 [metalog] Process [17682] died with signal [15] ^---no leading zero It seems that =app-admin/metalog-0.8_rc1-r2 works OK, eg: > May 6 00:20:54 [kernel] Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= ... This behaviour of metalog leads to little troubles at least when parsing log files with logwatch.

only when the source is [kernel] does the leading zero exist
fixed in metalog-0.8
