Re: problem with syslog
Have you tried the 'logger' command to see if it will write to syslog? That should test if the syslogd daemon is working. Also, what does your /etc/syslog.conf file look like?

Re: problem with syslog
logger "This is a test"
Does that show up?
If that fails, then determine the syslog -D PID
ps -ef | grep syslog
& kill it. Make sure it's gone & then run
/usr/sbin/syslogd -D &
HTH,
Jeff

Re: problem with syslog
Another thing to check is to make sure that your /var filesystem has not filled up.
# bdf /var
And make sure it isn't at 100%. /var filling up can definitely adversely effect your syslog daemon.

Re: problem with syslog
Run 'lvlnboot -v' or 'ftp' to check entries.

Re: problem with syslog
a. vi /tmp/syslog
b. cat /tmp/syslog
CHECKING SYSLOG
d. cat /tmp/syslog > /dev/log
If it does not log anything check permissions in syslog.log file
2.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`

Solutiondid you want to change the syslog config somehow?
vi syslog.conf
:se list
you will see ^I for tabs and $ for line end
make sure there are *NO blanks* in this file.
by default it should look like:
#$
mail.debug^I^I/var/adm/syslog/mail.log$
*.info;mail.none^I/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log$
*.alert^I^I^I/dev/console$
*.alert^I^I^Iroot$
*.emerg^I^I^I*$
remove anything else, try to restart and use logger.
Regards,
Bernhard

Re: problem with syslog
2. Check whether syslogd daemon is running or not
#ps -ef | grep syslogd
If it is running kill and restart it
#kill [pid]
# syslogd start
Check /etc/syslog.conf also
Hope u haven't changed the permissions of syslog.conf file and directory
