The above message contained the following:

It could be that the operating-system doesn't honor the root set-uid bit
for the disk partition containing hupsyslog(1). You should check with
your system administrator on this.
Otherwise, what user owns the syslogd(1) process? You can determine
this with the command
ps -ef | grep syslog
