Very Computer

created a empty file by "touch /var/log/maillog"
restarted syslogd by "/etc/init.d/syslog stop/start"

but
/var/log/maillog stays at 0 byte.

if i remove the " mail.* /var/log/maillog " line, postfix log will show
up in /var/adm/messages again.

exect setup works in a solaris8 box.

any help is appreciated.

(the chmod is more likely to be the problem)

I decided to try it again from the begining,
stopped syslog and rm the /var/log/maillog

# touch /var/log/maillog
# ls -al /var/log/maillog
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other          0 Feb  7 13:35 /var/log/maillog
# /etc/init.d/syslog start
# ls -al /var/log/maillog
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other        366 Feb  7 13:36 /var/log/maillog
#
# chmod 600 /var/log/maillog
# ls -al /var/log/maillog
-rw-------   1 root     other      74063 Feb  7 13:41 /var/log/maillog
# chown root:sys /var/log/maillog
# ls -al /var/log/maillog
-rw-------   1 root     sys        76009 Feb  7 13:41 /var/log/maillog
#

now i am even more confused. ;-)
