I've left the default configuration of logrotate.
Where does it put old logs. Shouldn't it be messages.1 ??

The standard place to put them is as messages.1, messages.2 etc in the
same directory as "messages", probably /var/log/

Another question on this topic :
How can I make logrotate use two digits ? Ie messages.01, messages.02
to messages.09, messages.10, messages.11 ?

I don't like the way that my directory is sorted at the moment when
rotating more than 10 backups of a file.
