your errors is exactly because of the missing /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d ...

your options:

(1) create a symlink for /opt/freeware/etc/logrotate.conf into /etc/logrotate.conf and /opt/freeware/etc/logrotate.d into /etc/logrotate.d

(2) manually create /etc/logrotate.d and copy /opt/freeware/etc/logrotate.conf into /etc/logrotate.conf

i would suggest creating the symlinks first and see if that works as that way is cleaner and you do not have to worry about maintaining 2 versions of the logrotate.conf file ...

btw, you might also want to consult the logrotate man page ...

NAME

       gssproxy - GssProxy Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       gssproxy [options]

DESCRIPTION

       gssproxy provides a daemon to manage access to GSSAPI credentials.

       gssproxy consists of the gssproxy daemon (configured by the gssproxy.conf(5) file) and a GSSAPI interposer plugin (gssproxy-mech(8)).

OPTIONS

       -D,--daemon
	   Become a daemon after starting up.

       -i,--interactive
	   Run in the foreground, don't become a daemon.

       -c,--config
	   Specify a non-default config file. The default is /etc/gssproxy/gssproxy.conf. For reference on the config file syntax and options,
	   consult the gssproxy.conf(5) manual page.

       -d,--debug
	   Turn on debugging.

       --version
	   Print version number and exit.

SIGNALS

       SIGTERM/SIGINT
	   Informs the GssProxy to gracefully terminate all of its child processes and then shut down.

       SIGHUP
	   Tells the GssProxy to stop writing to its current debug file descriptors and to close and reopen them. This is meant to facilitate log
	   rolling with programs like logrotate.

SEE ALSO

       gssproxy.conf(5) and gssproxy-mech(8).
