I've experienced this problem many times due to hanging dns lookups. /etc/resolv.conf may point to a nonexistent nameserver. Comment it out and restart syslogd. Or use a syslog implementation that allows you to disable dns lookups. Or just give the nameserver a kick. -Mike Adler ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
