Good morning!  I am testing syslog-ng to find an alternative to syslog.  =
 So far, so good, the instructions have been great and I got it to work. =
 However, I have one issue I can't seem to fix nor find literature which =
addresses it.   I discovered that when the /var/log/messages file gets =
switched to messages.1 (then messages.2 and so forth), syslog-ng keeps =
logging to the new file name messages.1 instead of messages as I defined =
it in the conf file.   I was hoping someone might know why does =
syslog-ng do this, and how can it be fixed?    Thanks in advance for any =
info.  Best regards to all,
Paul
