Hello,
I use a SLES 9 server as a mailrelay with postfix. After a logrotate the firewall stops logging to syslog and begins to log to the console. Two hours later the server hangs and I have to do a hard reboot. But the server was available from outside. It answered to a ping. It seams that the load was to high.
Has anybody an idea what can be the fault?
I'd try copytruncate in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog for /var/log/firewall. Make a separate section, or get /var/log/firewall out of /etc/logrotate.d/syslog into its own /etc/logrotate.d/firewall /var/log/firewall { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 10 missingok notifempty copytruncate size +8192k } Not sure that it will solve the problem, though.
