Dumb luck, but noticed that syslog-ng was not starting. I commented prior about this. What I *didn't* say was that 'rcsyslog start' did not start syslog-ng.
Ah!
Further searching revealed that syslog-ng was not referenced in /etc/sysconfig/syslog. I have a prior install of 10.1 on another drive for reference. Compared the syslog files and wrote the differences to /etc/sysconfig/syslog. Now going from runlevel 1 to 3 starts syslog-ng and the firewall logging has returned.
Weird.
Another revelation, the change time on /etc/sysconfig/syslog was 11 July, not the 13th where the firewall logging halted. I surmise that syslog was not stopped and failed to restart until I went to runlevel 1 to try to recover from the system thinking there was no free space on /home ????
Probably so. Doing that forces the daemon to reload, and fail. Till then, the change was not applied... but who/what changed the syslog conf?
What generates /etc/sysconfig/syslog as rpm -qf doesn't know?
Dunno... it must be generated by some script. About the dissapearing space, I think it might be similar to what I comented on my previous email: files were deleted while still opened, so the change was not written to disk till their proceses died. Something of the sort, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
