I had five days of logging & no rotation.  I finally just mv'd the file & 
restarted the daemon.  I have tried manually adding /var/log/messages to the 
conf file & was rewarded w/'no such group'.  Well... the btmp group is 
recognized (and there) and I was looking right at /var/log/messages.

Finally, at 0735 I saw the same messages one sees when booting --right on my 
desktop-- and checked the logs:

Still no log rotation.  The first 'restart' was after my manual rotation; the 
2nd was after the cron.daily logrotate was [perhaps] executed.  I don't 
really call that execution.
