Description rdm 2002-12-08 18:40:02 UTC 
	After I upgraded to 4.7, I started noticing an occasional
        nastygram on the console, saying /var/log/auth.log was
        missing.  Looking in /var/log.dist and /var/log, I found
        that, indeed, it had gone AWOL during the move.

        This was my mistake, but why doesn't this log file
        regenerate itself at need?

Fix: 

<How to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)>
How-To-Repeat: 
	# rm /var/log/auth.log
        # sync
        # sync
        # reboot

        (:-)
