Yes, they seem to initially get written and then tail off for some
reason. I am not sure why. Actually, if I SIGHUP syslogd, it seems
to make a difference, in that I can generally see when newsyslog sig
HUPs syslog to do log rotation. Perhaps this is confusing things ?
e.g.
1225628270 Nov 2 07:17:50 st32278 ovpn-kit[1047]: Initialization
Sequence Completed
1225641602 Nov 2 11:00:02 st32278 syslogd: restart
1225641608 Nov 2 11:00:08 st32278 ppp[927]: tun0: Chat: deflink:
Redial timer expired.
In this snippet the last entry was 07:17 for some reason and then the
SIGHUP from newsyslog seems to wake things up for some reason.
