Problems starting syslog
Hello,
I noticed that the system has not been writing to /var/adm/messages for some time. Checked for the syslogd daemon and this wasn't running. So I tried restarting syslogd in debug mode:
impws02{root}# syslogd -d

I then checked for file /de/log and it does exist:
lrwxrwxrwx1 rootother 27 Nov 11 2004 /dev/log -> ../devices/pseudo/log@0:log
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Thanks
