Shalom,

Check the existence of the following file:

/etc/syslog.conf

Make sure its not been changed. If its missing in action, copy it in from another system.

There should be an error message in /etc/rc.log if the system has been booted in this condition.

Hi:

Since you have restarted the 'syslogd' daemon to no avail, I suspect that you modified '/etc/syslog.conf'. The selector/action pairs in '/etc/syslog.conf' use *tabs* as separator characters, not spaces. A post of:

# cat -etv /etc/syslog.conf'

...will reveal this if that's the reason.

Regards!
