logrotate mit dateext-Option ist durcheinander


Hallo,

ich habe hier ein debian-etch, in dem für ein bestimmtes logfile die Option dateext in der logrotate-Konfig gesetzt ist. Dies scheint sich auf seltsame Weise mit der üblichen Art zu beißen, in der die rotierten Versionen benamst werden.

/etc/logrotate.conf:

# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be configured here


/etc/logrotate.d/foobar:

/var/log/pwadmin {
missingok
weekly
rotate 14
nocompress
dateext
create 640 root webinterfaces
}


Resultat:

Durch diese Arbeitsweise entstehen Lücken, in denen geloggte events fehlen; logrotate tritt sich irgendwie selbst auf die Füße. Achja: logrotate-Version 3.7.1-3

Any hints?
