This seems to solve the problem.

I don't think that is the correct fix. The syslogd_listfiles seems to be strange (specially the --auth part)

Looking at the debian's syslogd-listfiles, this is how i think it is supposed to work:

syslogd-listfiles   # give a list of files for daily rotation
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/mail.info

syslogd-listfiles --auth # only list files that may contain sensitive info
                         # used for adjusting file permissions after log rotate
/var/log/auth.log

syslogd-listfiles --weekly # give a list of files to rotate every week
/var/log/mail.warn
/var/log/uucp.log
/var/log/user.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/messages
/var/log/debug
/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/mail.err
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/lpr.log

However, our script runs only a daily rotate job, and it seems to expect that --auth will only list protected files and without --auth all except protected.

for LOG in $( syslogd_listfiles ); do
        [ -f $LOG ] && savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 $LOG
done

for LOG in $(syslogd_listfiles --auth); do
        [ -f $LOG ] && savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 $LOG
done

So my question is: what do we want this thingy to do? Rotate everythign daily, but set different permissions for sensitive files (auth)? Do what debian does, rotate most files weekly but some daily?

Need to know how its supposed to work before we can try fix anything.

I fixed this with sysklogd-1.5-r7. the --auth works as a toggle, without --auth it will list all files except those with auth facility, with --auth its the opposite.

Otherwise we rotate the file twice.

Please test that this works in edge.

More.. I think we might want move savelog and syslogd-listfiles to separate files and have a cronjob that rotates those weekly, and for the daily job we just check so file does not pass certain size before we rotate.

Thats another story though...
