[lug] Empty boot and message files in var log?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Elyse> I have a mysterious situation on my Linux server (KRUD 7.2).

Elyse> Can anyone suggest why the boot.log and messages files in
Elyse> /var/log should contain nothing since Feb 25?

is syslogd and klogd running? 
Is there disk space on that partition? 

Elyse> Is there any place else I can look for information about named
Elyse> problems?

what sort of named problems? google is good if you have a specific
error...
