Subject: syslogd problem
Hello PLUG.
My redhat 8 system has quit logging any system messages. All
of the /var/log files such as maillog and messages are not
receiving any new logging messages.

A "service syslog restart" returns:
Shutting down kernel logger:     [OK]
Shutting down system logger:     [OK]
Starting system logger:     [FAILED]
Starting kernel logger:     [OK]


Yet "ps ax | grep syslog" gives:
24936 ?        S      0:00 syslogd -m 0


By running the syslog command from the command line it start
but I get a return error of 130.

What could possible be causing the FAILED response?

Thanks,
Dan
