According to Randy DuCharme: > 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. Look with ps or lsof. You'll see that your syslogd is probably in the "Exiting" state, thus "locking" the "/var/run/log" socket. It is a "known without a fix" bug I think of syslogd. Try to "kill -9" and launch another. If it is still unable to run, reboot... I see this also an an 2.1.5 box where it suddenly stops logging. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #33: Sat Dec 21 12:57:17 CET 1996
