Trying to configure my pure-ftpd server which relies on messages, and the log window was empty. I've re-enabled it the way it should be, in rsyslogv conf. /var/log/messages is an essential part of any unix distro. What needs to happen is that the distinction between syslog and messages needs to become more contrasted they way they should be: low- level system/kernel messages to syslog, and global application notices to messages. Or, if the consensus is that they serve the same purpose, then get rid of one of them completely... no use in having the null-byte file lurking around anymore
