Greetings,

Every morning Cron sends me mail about being unable to restart syslogd.  
He says " could not restart syslogd: No such process"

Manually attempting to start 'syslogd' says "child pid xxx exited with
return code 1"

Syslog -d says "cannot create /var/run/log: Address already in use
logmsg: pri 53, flags 4, from arabian, msg syslogd: cannot create
/var/run/log: Address already in use
Logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
cannot create /var/run/log (0)

I'm confused.  Permissions look right.  Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.

Thanks

Randy
