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.
