[Techtalk] rotating log files

[Maria McKinley]

Greetings,

I added the line

local4.* /var/log/slapd.log

to /etc/rsyslog.conf to create a slapd log file. So far so good. File is 
created and filled as expected. I added the file /etc/logrotate.d/slapd
containing:

/var/log/slapd.log {
   rotate 7
   daily
   compress
   delaycompress
   missingok
   notifempty
}

But the file was ignored, and the log not rotated. I tried adding the 
same thing to logrotate.conf, but still no joy. Any ideas? Other things 
are being rotated just fine. Debian Lenny.

thanks,
maria
