Corrupted daemon.log file

hi,

yesterday I made something wrong and deleted daemon.log file. Then created a new file with the same name under the same path but now, it seems that file constructed has been corrupted .

In earlier times, it was including regex name. Now there is no regex name.

This is the current file status:

11:14:16.591 Connection from IP: **.***.154.98 Login Failed!
11:32:33.069 Connection from IP: **.**.145.226 Login Failed!

I delibrately hide ip adddresses.

Should I convert the file to dos2unix to have the earlier correct form?


thanks in advance
