      Hi all.

      For some reason I my logs on the server are not rotating even though I have log retention set to 12, and I see messages about the logfile being turned over (after 500kb). I only see 1 system.log file, and the same happens for auth.log. Only filter.log and nginx.log seem to be rotating.

      It's a very standard install, am I overlooking something?

            Sorry, should have specified the version. Community edition 2.6.0-RELEASE

            Will take a look if the mentioned issues relate to the CE edition as well.

              The patches proposed above are valid for 2.7.0.
              "2.7.0" is like "2.6.0", with hundreds of issues less.
