You should have: syslogd_enable="YES" # Run syslog daemon (or NO). syslogd_flags="" # Flags to syslogd (if enabled). Your problem looks like the lack of the file /var/run/log. You should have: # ls -l /var/run/log srw-rw-rw- 1 root bin 0 Sep 19 16:31 /var/run/log If you don't have it, do # mkfifo /var/run/log I'd like to know how you came not to have it, though. Did you move /var? Greg
