Hi Marian, Indeed, starting at 4.0.0 the log rotation was set, as a default, to use the external logrotate command (seems like many admins prefer the "standard" way of doing it). The default turns off the internal rotation and uses cron to do the external rotation. Odviously, something is mesed up here for you. One thing we noticed on some sites is that the log file winds up being owned by root not the user running xrootd. What is the ownership of the log file. Finally, did you use the sysinit script that came withthe release or are you using some customization?
