sysklogd no longer logs
Hello debian-user,
Since I've upgraded my stable box during the last release, I notice
syslog is no longer logging some messages (e.g. iptables among other
things). /var/log/kern.log, for example, is empty as of the 16th of
July. `dmesg` shows the blocked packets, however, so at least I know
iptables is working.
$ dpkg -l sysklogd | grep ii
ii sysklogd 1.4.1-17 System Logging Daemon
$ grep '\-m 0' /etc/init.d/sysklogd
SYSLOGD="-m 0 -a /chroot/named/dev/log"
When I issue a `/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart`, I see this in /var/log/messages
Jul 21 14:40:01 he exiting on signal 15
Jul 21 14:40:02 he syslogd 1.4.1#17: restart.
The contents of my /etc/syslog.conf:
$ grep -v '#' /etc/syslog.conf
auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog

If I can provide any other information which may help me solve this
please let me know.
Thank you for reading!
