Hi, Your question sounds on track. rsyslog is not installed. Also the description of rsyslog rings familiar bells. There have been complaints when updating gdm that gconf could not be reached because of internal networking problems, possibly from TCP/ip not being enabled for ORBit. That complaint also suggested that nfs might have been damaged after a system crash due to power to the machine being removed during operation: that has happened.
I'll install rsyslog and report on the outcome. Thanks for your email and your help.
