I'm having the following problem:
Whenever cron gzip's my messages file, all logging to the "new" messages file is stopped, no information is entered.
I have a similar situation here, however just the mail log stops after logrotate runs.
The only solution I found sofar is rebooting the machine, there has to be a simpler solution !
You don't need to reboot, just restart syslogd:
/sbin/init.d/syslog restart
However this is not a solution. I've posted this question before but gotno answers.
I'm running SuSE 6.3.
See Suse's earlier reaction (Roman sent it I think?): update the aaa_base package, there is a bug in the older distros concerning log-rotating.
