So you are not using the default logrotate options in Fedora?
The default is 4 saved versions.
Logrotate is run by cron, with the script in /etc/cron.daily and the
config files are /etc/logrotate.conf and in /etc/logrotate.d.

I had an issue in FC5 test 2 or 3 where the logrotate install/upgrade
did not completely run its post scripts; I forget now, but this left
logrotate to not work. This was traced back to a faulty user entry for
either the crond or logrotate install, which meant that the rpm install
scripts had not completed.
An rpm -V vixie-cron logrotate will verify the rpm installation, just in
case. My full FC5 install is rotating logs properly.
