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
from my experience this is a SELinux problem, due e.g. to booting a
different kernel that does not have SELinux enabled. The fix is to
touch /.autorelabel
and reboot. Or you chase down the specific SELinux problem(s) associated
with syslogd.
HTH,
Kay
