That doesn't have anything to do with what _looks_ for syslog logs in the usual places (the count also inflated by updates - so you have dupes). I don't think logrotate will care if the syslog files are not there. The /etc/lograte.d/syslog is provided by rsyslog (so if there's no rsyslog, there's no corresponding logrotate config). logwatch, fail2ban, and denyhosts should either depend on syslog or be taught to understand the journal. systemd should NOT provide syslog, since it is not providing a "syslog" service (it is an alternate system logging setup that can receive messages via the syslog socket). That virtual provides makes it harder for people that want a syslog service. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
