Okay, I'll bite! How do the messages get into the messages file in the first place? There should be a file /var/run/syslogd.pid which contains the pid of the syslog daemon. If it exists then you're running syslog from the /etc/init.d/syslog script. If it doesn't exist you might check to see if it's running at all with ps -fe | grep syslog . I suggest that you do a man syslogd to find out where the syslog.conf file is. FWIW, almost all messages going to /var/log/* are handled by the syslog facility so if there's no configuration file I have no idea what happens. --jc david walcroft wrote: Mikkel L.
