Is the partition (/var probably) full up or out of inodes? df -ih /var/log Also, look at the console to see if anything has been logged there. If it isn't running out of space, then check that the directory hasn't got weird flags settings: ls -laoR /var/log Having something like noschg set on the directory would cause the observed symptoms, but I am at a loss to understand how on earth anything like that could come about. There are a couple of other things it might be, but it's quite unlikely you wouldn't get crashes, coredumps and other signs of the end-times should any of those be the case. Cheers, Matthew
