FC5: syslog not logging?

[Craig Goodyear <cjhs22a@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that syslog has stopped working since I restarted my FC5 
server yesterday, about 24 hours ago.  There have not been any entries 
made 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 now shut 
down, the shut down of system logger is shown to fail.

Where do I start to find the solution to this problem?  Are there there 
any ideas of suggestions?  I haven't been able to find anything on 
Google or the list archive.
