SYSLOG disappearance
Hello,
It seems as if I have unknowingly lost my syslog at /var/adm/SYSLOG, it could have occurred sometime ago after my upgrade to O/S 6.0. Looking at /etc/syslog.conf I couldn't find any corrective action to take. Tried running from the command line machine 1744% ls /var/adm/Could someone say what could have caused this and if it is indicative of some pending problem? Thanks! |

Yes! /var/log/messages is there and a host of other log files as expected in the upper directory '/var/log'. Now I am installing a program that is referencing
/var/log/syslog · /var/adm/SYSLOG for logging and that's how I recognized the missing /var/adm/ directory and remembered the SYSLOG, crash?core etc. Was wondering If I cloberred something during the installation or have they been removed in the V 6.x O/S. If they are supposed to be there, how do I restore them? Thanks |

/var/adm is found on a Solaris system (and, I want to say AIX, but don't quote me on that). Are you perhaps installing something that is expecting to be on a Solaris system? Or are you on a Solaris system and accidentally posted to the wrong section? Or maybe you're a Solaris admin new to the BSD world (old habits die hard )?

MIA CULPA I've been working on FreeBSD, IRIX and Solaris platforms and environments. I've installing a package and the instructions documents were not too concise on the steps for each platform, so when they mentioned /var/adm/SYSLOG and FreeBSD, it struck a familiar chord, albeit the wrong one. Again MIA CULPA |
