newsyslogd / pflogd : daily logfiles for pf

[Ruben]

Hi,

Somebody contacted me off-list and provided a lot of knowledge / efforts 
troubleshooting this issue: TnX!

The problem eventually turned out to be (totally) unrelated to both 
newsylog and pflogd, and the issue has been "solved".

Kind regards,

Ruben
