If so, then you might have a problem with logging. Here is a predefined answer that explains the problem and contains a solution. Please let me know if it's not applicable. Regarding use of syslog-ng on SuSE Linux: We believe that SuSE users are not locked into running syslog-ng. We are not experts in anything SuSE, but there are RPMs for syslogd on the SuSE FTP site. For example for SuSE v9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/i586/syslogd-1.4.1-537.i586.rpm Unfortunately, we do not have enough experience with syslog-ng or SuSE to be able to help get LDM logging working using syslog-ng. We recommend, therefore, that sites strongly consider installing and using syslogd. If/when you do, you can configure it using the standard directions available in the Unidata LDM webpages.
