OK, here's my problem: I'm currently running the Woody release, and have managed to cause a rather interesting problem: Although my syslogd
and klogd daemons are running at startup, the system logs themselves are not being written - in fact, the log messages are displayed to the text console... for instance, when I log into a regular text-console (non-X), I am greeted with a PAM module message, as well as a login record - the exact same as I find in my /var/log/syslog.0 file. And, the date stamp on my /var/log/syslog.0 file has been unchanged since April 9th - dispite multiple reboots (I use Windoze for games...) Another interesting side-not is that Xscreensaver (and the KDE screensavers) will 'save' the screen - but when I choose 'lock screen' - they both just save the screen and do not lock the screen... While a somewhat minor problem as far as functionality goes, this is a rather troublesome security issue, as well as simply annoying due to the fact that my system isn't working correctly... Now, this is what I did (I think) that caused the problem - I tried to install the KDE-Corel packages (From the Corel web-site). Now, there were some conflicts in dpkg that kept them from installing it... and, I just moved back to the packages available from the KDE site... I thought everything was OK until I saw the logging behavior. I'll supply any more additional information upon request... Thanks! Troy Telford
