But after looking at the file in question, it sure appears
to me that the "y" is the result of a "typo" on the
part of logrotate -- and who ever heard of machines making typos!
root@beauregard logrotate.d]# cat sa-update
/var/log/sa-update.log {

Perhaps the Menehune, speaking Jabberwocky? :-) At any rate, there
are 16 files in /etc/logrotate.d containing
a "notifempty" line and it hiccuped only the one time.
The same error occurred on FC6. Unfortunately, it looks like the fix
never got brought forward to RHEL5. See this thread:

Dave, I think it WAS incorporated. That error was generated before I
did the massive update that some were groaning about and has not
happened since. One of the packages that was updated was spamassassin.
[root@beauregard ~]# grep spamassassin /var/log/messages
Apr 12 23:32:37 beauregard Updated: spamassassin.i386 3.1.8-2.el5
The RPM on the DVD is spamassassin-3.1.7-4.el5.i386.rpm and without
looking, I'll bet there is an error in the sa-update file in this
version. My faith in "pore ol' beauregard"'s typing ability has been
restored!
Thanks for the reply!
