Subject: [alpine-devel] Bug in sysklogd daily rotate
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:08:51 +0000

Hello,
	Ran into a bug with the /etc/periodic/daily/sysklogd script on the  
latest version of alpine 1.8.
We needed to keep log files for more 32 days and that is why we ran  
into the bug.

The bug will occur when changing the cycle to more than 9 days.

I didn't know who might be interested in this and didn't see sysklogd  
in 1.9 so passing it onto the list.

Thanks nangel for pointing this out.
