#6 p0f files don't rotate Posted by Anonymous (206.176.xx.xx) on Mon 25 Jul 2005 at 23:43 I could use some help: I'm running p0f as root and it writes its output to /var/log/p0f.log. I have p0f.log in my logrotate.conf but when logrotate is run via cron, a new p0f file gets created but nothing gets written to it. It stays empty until I kill the process and re-run it from the command line. What I am doing wrong? Here's the listing of my logrotate.conf file: /var/log/p0f.log { rotate 7 daily delaycompress missingok create 0666 root root } I tried changing the create mask and the user and group but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Should I try cron as the owner?
