>Organization:

Nicolas Untz <nicolas@untz.net>
>Environment:

	System      : OpenBSD 3.2
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386

>Description:

	When the following lines are uncommented in /etc/newsyslog.conf:
		/var/www/logs/access_log                644  7    250  *     Z /var/www/logs/httpd.pid SIGUSR1
		/var/www/logs/error_log         644  7    250  *     Z /var/www/logs/httpd.pid SIGUSR1
	newsyslog will send SIGUSR1 to httpd, which dies because the following files are missing:
		/var/www/conf/access.conf
		/var/www/conf/srm.conf
	[Wed Oct  2 20:00:01 2002] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful restart
	fopen: No such file or directory
	httpd: could not open document config file /conf/access.conf

>How-To-Repeat:

	Uncomment following lines in /etc/newsyslog.conf
		/var/www/logs/access_log                644  7    250  *     Z /var/www/logs/httpd.pid SIGUSR1
		/var/www/logs/error_log         644  7    250  *     Z /var/www/logs/httpd.pid SIGUSR1

>Fix:

	Temporary workaround by creating empty access.conf and srm.conf
