Once again, I'm back with a seemingly odd situation. Running my server
on Mandrake 10.1.
Syslogd has been showing a non-stop list of log entries on my server's
monitor. The server is starting in console mode (X, XFS and DM are not
set to start on bootup, but can be started manually), and it starts
displaying syslogd and klogd entries or data.
I thought that syslogd was supposed to store it's entries in a log
file(s), not on the console. Can someone explain what's happening? I've
never seen this before and I don't want to have to shut down the syslog
& klogd daemons.
It actualy sounds like the daemons are not running. As root, run
"service syslog status" and make sure both syslogd and klogd are
running. If they both report that they are running, then chack
/etc/syslog.conf - there should be only one entry that uses *, tty,
tty0, or console for the output file. (*.emerg *)
