[syslog-ng]logrotate question (not working with syslog-ng)...

[syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu]

Oh one more thing.  There was an old email in archive
about similar problems writing to dhcp log file.

The answer there was his libol version was too low.

I'm using old redhat7.3 and installed newest syslog-ng
from source..... is it possible even redhat7.3 is too old
for syslog-ng source???

Perhaps a little libol upgrade would fix??
I dunno why newer libol version would negate need
for HUP but who knows.
