Mine has done that a few times and I have no idea why. But, to fix it I
just uninstall syslogd and it starts working.

There's never been anything in the logs to show why this happens. I've
investigated thoroughly to make sure nobody broke into my stuff. I even had
it happen once on a computer not connected to anything more than power.

A reinstall always fixes it. I even reuse the old conf file without
modifications. The daemon just dies and never leaves a hint that I can find
as to why.

Anybody know why this takes place?
