I suddenly realised that /var/log/messages and some related logs are
never rotated on one of our Red Hat Linux 9 setups. The relevant lines
from 'logrotate -d' are included below. As far as I can tell from
these messages, the files should be correctly setup for weekly
rotation, but I have no /var/log/messages.1, /var/log/messages.2 etc.,
and similar for the other logs. Any ideas why?
rotating pattern: /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog
/var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron weekly (4 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed

not running shared postrotate script, since no logs were rotated
Check for restrictions on rotating (on size). If filesize<size they
won't be rotated
