Why am I not getting text into /var/log/messages?
- by dafydd
Good Morning,
Today, I went to look at a backup RHEL5 server that doesn't usually need to get looked at very often. I found that /var/log/messages existed, but had a size of zero. Similarly, messages.1, messages.2, messages.3, and messages.4 are also all empty.
/var/log/messages has its correct permissions. (755)
Reboot - No help.
rm -f /var/log/messages* and service syslog restart - No help.
What am I missing?
