Re: empty log files
2008/7/1 michael <cs(a)networkingnewsletter.org.uk>:
I can't recall doing anything 'wrong' but I now notice
most of my log
files are, unexpectedly, empty (see example, below). Anybody care to
suggest how I can debug why this is so? Thanks, M
Did you by chance happen to install vmware? Installing vmware seems to
change the SEli9nux context of /etc/services, which prevents syslog
from working. To fix:
1) run /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/services
2) /sbin/service syslog restart
