Why not? It is a big file, but there is nothing preventing you looking at it. You must be root on most systems, but you can change that. You can do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' because it is typically big and all you are concerned with is at the end anyway. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not necessarily
That is I know already yet when I do it there is nothing displayed the file is completely empty.
Can some one point to me where I should be checking to uncover the story ?
Did I miss something here? What story?
Well if I do not see something as I used to and if nothing is done specific I personally would call it story.
OK, I see your point. Is it running: ps aux | grep syslogd If not try to run it by hand as root: /usr/sbin/syslogd And see if you get any messages. Check for the following files in /etc/rc.d: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 31 1999 rc1.d/S09syslog -> ../syslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 31 1999 rc2.d/K35syslog -> ../syslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 31 1999 rc2.d/S09syslog -> ../syslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 31 1999 rc3.d/K35syslog -> ../syslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 31 1999 rc3.d/S09syslog/rc1.d/S09syslog The capital 'S' means to start whereas a lowercase 's' means to not start. The capital 'K' means to kill whereas a lowercase 'k' means to not kill.
