[expert] Syslog not logging in Madrake 9.1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I just noticed that syslod is failing on startup, but klogd is starting [OK]. As klogd uses syslogd so the result is absolutely no logging on my firewall machine. Strangely, however, the syslogd process is actually running. I can start it manually from a terminal with debugging switched on and it shows connections being opened and closed as other processes try to create log entries. All log files under /var/log/ have a timestamp of 4:02 AM this morning (June 8th) but contain 0 bytes. So I'm thinking maybe the logrotate has screwed things up somehow? The archive log files are all dated from 3 days ago (June 5th), even though I'm sure logrotate is supposed to run nightly (it's living in /etc/cron.daily on my system). I've also checked my /etc/syslog.conf file. I've not tinkered with anything in here since install but I thought I'd check and it all looks good to me. Any pointers would be appreciated as I've run out of ideas? Many thanks. - -- Graeme J Hosking [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.hosking-online.com/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 6.5.8ckt http://www.ipgpp.com/ iQA+AwUBPuN3smG9Y2LKTkbCEQLKIgCY2y42DfbKH80CKHzHJrGQWg9y5ACfXoP4 RHjwmv9ESh/9reKg2NUp2R8= =kPs8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
