I have observed this behaviour today and yesterday.  For some reason, 
syslogd stops logging.  Here's what I'm seeing:

[dan@undef:~/tmp] $ tail /var/log/messages
Jan 22 00:00:00 undef newsyslog[50185]: logfile turned over
[dan@undef:~/tmp] $ logger hi
[dan@undef:~/tmp] $ tail /var/log/messages
Jan 22 00:00:00 undef newsyslog[50185]: logfile turned over
[dan@undef:~/tmp] $ ps auwx | grep syslogd
root     4837  0.0  0.0   940    0  ??  IWs  -         0:00.00 
/usr/sbin/syslogd -s

Yesteryday, killing and restarting syslogd solved the issue.  But I'd 
rather investigate this before I do that today.  Ideas?

thanks
