Hi Vishu:

Perhaps you copied the 'syslog' and failed to restart the daemon. Do this:

# /sbin/init.d/syslogd stop
# /sbin/init.d/syslogd start

This will create a 'OLDsyslog.log' from the current log and restart the daemon with a new, empty log.

Regards!

Did you remove it/move it?

Try resatrting syslogd:

/sbin/init.d/syslogd stop

/sbin/init.d/syslogd start
