[gentoo-user] logrotate desn't create new empty files

[Jakob <jak.gentoo@googlemail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm running logrotate on my homeserver and the logs are rotated
correctly but after rotating it should create new empty log files and
that doesnt work.

here are my confs:
/etc/logrotate.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/logrotate/files/logrotate.conf,v

# Logrotate default configuration file for Gentoo Linux
#
# See "man logrotate" for details

# rotate log files weekly
weekly
#daily

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 10

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress

# packages can drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

notifempty
nomail
noolddir

# no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

 and /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.logrotate,v

/var/log/messages {
  dateext
  olddir /var/log/
  copy
  create 0600 root root
  size 5000k
  sharedscripts
  postrotate
        /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
  endscript
}

I thought create will do this but it doesn't work and my logs getting
bigger and bigger.
What did I do wron?

Regards

Jakob
