Switching

Hi all,

I have problem with files /var/log/wtmp on my EX switches,

they are not rotated in junos 12.3R5 and 12.3 R6

> file list /var/log/wtmp* detail
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel   87983268 May 16 10:28 /var/log/wtmp
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel      18056 Mar 8   2013 /var/log/wtmp.0.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel      17709 Feb 6   2013 /var/log/wtmp.1.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel      17972 Jan 7   2013 /var/log/wtmp.2.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel      17948 Dec 8   2012 /var/log/wtmp.3.gz
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel      17984 Nov 8   2012 /var/log/wtmp.4.gz
total files: 6

and it's not listed in /etc/newsyslog.conf

>file show /etc/newsyslog.conf
/var/log/messages       0.0     660     40      128     *       Z
/var/log/interactive-commands   0.0     660     10      128     *       Z
/var/log/errors 0.0     660     20      128     *       Z
/var/log/firewall       0.0     660     30      128     *       Z

/var/log/default-log-messages   0.0     660     10      128     *       Z

What is the easiest way to coreect it?

Andrzej

This is fixed in 12.3R7:

You have the workaround as well:

Manually rotate /var/log/wtmp using the command "set system syslog file wtmp archive files 10 size 1M.
