syslog

["Justin R. Meats" <justin@internetpartners.com>]

My syslogd doesn't seem to be working properly.  After rebooting my machine,
I saw syslogd [FAILED] in the startup.  I tried starting it manually and
still it would fail.  When I try running /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog status it
gives a PID for syslogd, but nothing is logged to /var/log/messages.  I did
notice that logrotate will start syslog ok.  So right now, the only way I
know of starting my syslog is logrotate -f

How do I go about finding what the problem is?  Usually I check
/var/log/messages first when there's a problem, but since nothing gets
written to that, it's kind of difficult.

Here's what I'm running:
Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)
Kernel 2.2.14-12 on an i686

Thanks for your help!
