My firewall logging stopped last night and I do not know why. Can someone offer suggestions as how to solve this?

Did anything else stop logging at the same time? (e.g. what is the time of the last line in /var/log/messages or /var/log/mail?)

no, everything in /var/log appears to be updating as expected except firewall.

Is syslog still running (as root, run "rcsyslog status")?

yes and I restarted it just in case. Hasn't made any difference.

I only ask this because I got caught with syslog failing to run due to incompatibilities in config file formats after updating from 11.2 ->11.4. It's one of those things that you don't notice have stopped until you need a log file and then realise it isn't there...

Usually the case :^)

kernel upgrade, 3.0.7-45, and system reboot; firewall logging is back but halt still unexplained :^( x86_64 11.4 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
