Hi redhat-guys,On one of my RHEL5-boxes there is no logging anymore via syslog.I do not have a lot of experience with syslog, so I don't really know what to look for. Restarting syslog does not help. In /var/log/messages.1 there is the last message from 17th of July before the box got shut down. Seems that after this event syslog didn't log anymore. File permissions are same as on the other boxes (600 root:root). Can anyone give me hints, what to check and/or how to make it work again? Thanks a lot. Florian
I'd make sure /var/log is writable and that you don't have disk corruption. syslog is configured by /etc/syslog.conf
The line that sends info to /var/log/messages is*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
I'd make sure that isn't commented out. I'd also make sure that after you start syslog that it is still running (use ps to verify that klogd and syslogd are running).
