No more logs since cron.weekly rotation
Files in /var/adm as daemon.log, messages, auth.log don't get updated this
morning. Here's the rest of a ls -ltr in /var/adm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 May 19 06:47 daemon.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 May 19 06:47 debug
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 May 19 06:47 daemon.log.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 0 May 19 06:47 debug.0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 11144 May 19 08:59 wtmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root adm 498 May 19 09:05 diald.log
What's even more strange is that the xconsole window has all the relevant
information. Here are the last lines:
May 19 09:05:33 miles pppd[9109]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0

Any idea what's wrong? Is that a sysklogd problem? Or a savelog problem?
System info is as this:
edd@miles:/var/adm> uname -a
