/etc/logrotate.d/system contains string rotating /var/log/proftpd.log file. But there is no rotating of /var/log/xferlog. I guess putting /etc/logrotate.d/proftpd with following content: /var/log/xferlog { # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly nocompress } during installation of proftpd will be handy. Reproducible: Always
Thanks for your report. I merged app-admin/logrotate-3.8.0 to reproduce this issue but there is no /etc/logrotate.d/system file. Do you know which package did install this file? And please post the section of the /var/log/proftpd.log rotation from this file here.
Hmm. Checked on my systems. gawriloff@falcon-cl2 ~ $ equery belongs /etc/logrotate.d/system * Searching for /etc/logrotate.d/system ... gawriloff@falcon-cl2 ~ $ ls -l /etc/logrotate.d/system -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 377 Май 16 2009 /etc/logrotate.d/system /var/log/access.log /var/log/audit.log /var/log/auth.log /var/log/cron.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/emerge-fetch.log /var/log/emerge.log grsec.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/mail.log /var/log/net-snmpd.log /var/log/proftpd.log /var/log/user.log { missingok sharedscripts postrotate /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true endscript } It seems that this file is from days of old. You may close ticket, sorry for bother.
> It seems that this file is from days of old. > You may close ticket, sorry for bother. No problem. But I will not close this bug report. I will handle it as a feature enhancement request to add a logrotate configuration for the default ProFTPD log files /var/log/proftpd.log and /var/log/xferlog.
