Here is what I got by running newsyslog manually ->
hivemind# newsyslog -vn
--snip--
/var/log/httpd-*.log <1>: does not exist, skipped.
Even though, the files do exist ->
hivemind# ls -al /var/log/httpd-*.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 7052038 Dec 10 10:43 /var/log/httpd-access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 212 Dec 9 20:07 /var/log/httpd-cvs_error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 90363 Dec 9 15:25 /var/log/httpd-error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 208 Dec 10 01:26
/var/log/httpd-test1_error.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2332 Dec 9 15:28 /var/log/httpd-www_error.log
Im currently running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1, if that means anything.
Any other ideas???
Thanks
