It appears that syslog has stopped working since I restarted my FC5server yesterday, about 24 hours ago. There have not been any entriesmade in the following log files since the shut down yesterday: cron,maillog, messages, rkhunter.log, or secure.
syslogd and klogd are shown to be running. When the server is nowshut down, the shut down of system logger is shown to fail.
I encountered this situation recently. In my case, at least, I tracedit down to vmware modifying /etc/services, which then lost its properselinux context. There were entries in my audit.log denying permissionto syslogd. After issuing a restorecon /etc/services, the problem wasresolved.

Thanks for the information. I did installed vmware server beta severaldays ago. However, yesterday was the first system shutdown since theinstallation. Running restorecon /etc/services and restarting sysloggot things back to logging. Thanks again for the fast reply.
