hello,

my syslog-ng server is runnig fine, but a have little problem with
logrotate. please take a look...

syslog-ng writes the log files into "/var/log/syslog-ng/"
in this directory for each host a subdirectory is created e.g.: 
/var/log/syslog-ng/10.10.10.2/
/var/log/syslog-ng/10.10.10.3/ 
usw... 


in /etc/logrotate.conf i made the following entry:

/var/log/syslog-ng/* {
        rotate 5
        daily
        size=500M
        postrotate
                        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
        endscript
        compress
}

but this dont work! i have to specify the whole path to the log files:
/var/log/syslog-ng/10.10.10.3/*

ist there a way to rotate a directory with its subdirectory??

thanks in advance
manfred
