SUMMARY: syslog logs not to messages

Hi list,
very thanks to all who replied!

I have checked the config file for spaces and tabs. There are only tabs.
I have compared our syslog.conf with an original one, no difference. (without
local7.none)
I checked if syslogd opens /var/adm/messages , it does.

Restarting syslogd results in normal operation, but I cannot see any reason
for the vacancies...
One thing is weird, the process ID of syslogd is very high (greater than 5000)
but ps -ef told me that syslogd was started while system boot (compared with
uptime)
However, thanks for all the suggestions!

greetz,
Aleks
