*if the configuration differs from the file system.*

I'm trying to help Suvayu understand what he's getting confused over.
Conflicts between logrotate and manual changes are certainly more likely
than "something bad happened to syslog".

If you're unaware of the permissions control in the logrotate files it's
also somewhat mysterious to track down (I see many admins today who
don't even realise that it exists).
