I just found strange problem on my server. I run Susefirewall2 on 7.3, and i just found that since 3 days ago my firewall didn't write the log to /var/log/firewall and the file size is 0. I try touch firewall to that file but still don't work. Stop the firewall, delete the file and restart the firewall. I think
Hi Edwin, that will do the job.
I remember that several days ago I gz the file manually, and remove the old firewallxxxxxx.gz to save space. Was it the cause? Probably.
Can anybody give the clue? If you move/rename a file while a process has it open for writing, this process will still write to that file. Try it out. But I don't know what happens if you zip the file.
