Syslog and/or logrotate problem

The one with the -r, but I do see now that that should not affect anything.

>/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog is the following section:
----------------------------------------

>else
>        SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0"
>        KLOGD_OPTIONS="-2"
>fi
------------------------------------------

Oddly enough, the one running -r does not have -r in this file, I checked it
first.  I even diffed them to make sure.

The working server has 2 additional cron jobs in cron.daily, logwatch and
anacron.

Thanks a lot!
