Now I am getting all the messages on spitzer, but also the boot process
slows down to a crawl. Looking at tty8, I can see that while the first
kernel log messages just rush by, at some point the messages appear very
slowly, at maybe 1 message per second. I suspect that this is what slows
down the booting.

Also, according to lsof, the rsyslog process does not seem to open any
file in /var/cache/rsyslog, even though it has the right permissions.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember seeing rsyslog open and close the files frequently, so you may not catch them open with lsof. try running strace against it and log something while the VPN is down and see if you see files opened and closed.

When starting rsyslog, the only messages that I get are:

Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" 
x-pid="2517" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start
Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103
Jul 20 10:05:46 athena rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks!
