This has happened to me a few times on a couple o machines, I fixed it by
reinstalling sysklogd. Unfortunately, I haven't found the service which is
causing the conflict.
Re-boot the machine, and enter interactive mode during service start-up
(press "I")
Select "NO" for syslog this time.
Login as root.
Check you sysklogd version (rpm -q sysklogd) and make sure it's the latest
version: sysklogd-1.3.31-17
If you don't have the latest verion, log out, log in as user, get on the web
and download it. Then log back in as root
remove the old sysklogd: rpm -e sysklogd
and install the new one: rpm -ivh sysklogd-1.3.31-17mdk.rpm (or
watever the rpm is called)
Reboot at this point as see if the problem is fixed.
Note: This was happening to me every time i used syslog in debug mode. I
think MDK installs with syslog in debug mode by default, but I don't have an
MDK machine in front of me at the moment to check. You may want to stop
debugging if it's on.
