I really don't understand. I checked my old hobbit server and the
/etc/logrotate.d/hobbit is already existing. And, I'm sure I didn't
configure that before, because I don't know how.

You said you used a different package to install the old server.  It
probably dropped in the logrotate.d/hobbit config file for you, and the
one you used this time didn't.

My point was that you need a cron job (/etc/cron.daily/logrotate), and a
logrotate config file (/etc/logrotate.conf) for logrotate to be running
and "see" the logrotate.d/hobbit config.  I think FC6 does set that up by
default (see if you have /var/log/messages.1, etc, if so logrotate is
running).  Drop the logrotate.d/hobbit file in, and see if it starts
rotating.  If not, look at the other two files.

I'm running Hobbit 4.2.0 w/ all-in-one patch to Fedora Core 6. Thanks
for
your help Gary and Steve.

So, to sum up, you need
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate
/etc/logrotate.conf
/etc/logrotate.d/hobbit
all set up to have your hobbit logs rotated.  Anything you're not sure
of,
look at those on the server where the logs are getting rotated now.
