First, check the last log entries, you might have checked it right after cron rotated it. If they're unusually old, check /var/log/messages to make sure syslogd has been ether chatting about something else, or writing --MARK-- entries to it. Also, have you changed your firewall rules lately? You could have turned off logging on a rule that was generating alot of log output. -- Jordan Bettis <http://www.hafd.org/~jordanb/> The Unix Philosophy: Do one thing and do it well.
