Dear all,

After I rebooted my machine (Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 7), the
system
stopped logging its activity. syslogd died, /var/log/syslog has 0
content.
Even after I restarted syslogd, syslog file still has 0 content. Anyone
has any idea? I remember using "reboot" to restart the machine.

Thank you very much.

Have you run out of disk space on the filesystem that holds
/var/log/syslog? That's one of the more common reasons that
syslog would stop logging.

Greg, thank you for your response. A full /var is a common reason for such
thing to occur. But I just found that I didn't put "loghost" in /etc/hosts
table.
After I added "loghost" in my host line, the problem got solved.

Have a nice day.
