Hi,
I got up this morning and had a quick peruse of /var/log/messages after 
leaving the RH7.2 Box connected to the internet (It has now been connected 
for 32 Hours).  I have been doing some reading lately that if somebody 
manages to compromise your box they will redirect logging to /dev/null so 
you wont get any output in the log files.  While reading /var/log/messages I 
saw syslogd had been restarted.

Nov 29 04:02:09 Fresian syslogd a.b.c: restart.

Anyway my question to the group is does syslogd in the normal course of 
operation restart?

Thanks

Mark
