Hi James,

On typhoon I see that the syslog daemon is running, but it appears to be
confused.  Not only is it not writing to ldmd.log, but it's also not
writing any messages to /var/adm/messages.  it does, however, appear to
be writing to /var/log/syslog.

I recommend restarting the syslog daemon.  You'll need root privileges
to do that.  Go to the directory /etc/init.d, and, as root, do './syslog
stop' then './syslog start'.   If you have 'sudo' available, you can can
so 'sudo ./syslog stop' and 'sudo ./syslog start' in that directory.

Please let me know if this solves your problem.

Anne
