Hello, can anyone explain this?
I noticed today (15. January) that the /var/log/{messages,kern.log,etc.} files on a box were last touched on 22. November. sysklogd was in the rc-open /started/ state and was running. The configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf matches completely that file on another machine of mine, where the logs are properly updated. /etc/syslog.d/ was empty on both machines. I sent the process a HUP signal, as follows sudo kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/syslogd.pid ) and all the log files were immediately updated and reporting. I rebooted my machine, and the log files are untouched, it is again hibernating.
