Thanks to all of you!

>From the syslog.conf man page:

"The syslogd daemon automatically creates a new date directory every 24
hours and also when you boot the system. The current directory is a link to
the latest date directory. To get the latest logs, you only need to refer-
ence the /var/adm/syslog.dated/current directory."

Also, 'kill -HUP <syslog_pid>' performs the file rotation.
I just added this command in the root's crontab.

Regards,
Xavier
