Solutions:

Majority of you responds to the second question with the key word
"syslog.conf". Well, I looked into this and yes there were some
modification on this file and they use SPACE instead of TAB. I edited
the whole file and restart the the system. It works now.

Anybody have any idea with the first question.

Again thanks all who have give me a big tip.
