1.4.1-18 is broken - either use 1.4.1-16 as shipped in FC2, or the current rawhide version. You're using a UTF-8 locale ? This bug was found earlier (bug 125679) and was fixed in sysklogd-1.4.1-18 . Current version is sysklogd-1.4-22, which I am now pushing into FC2 updates. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 125679 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 125679 *** An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: All log files written by syslogd since at least a month ago have empty messages. Here is an example from /var/log/messages Aug 25 11:55:14 samwise exiting on signal 15 Aug 25 12:51:55 samwise syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Aug 25 12:51:55 samwise Aug 25 12:51:55 samwise last message repeated 208 times Aug 25 12:51:57 samwise Aug 25 12:51:57 samwise Aug 25 12:52:01 samwise This includes the following files: /var/log/{messages,secure,maillog,boot.log,cron} All available saved versions are the same way (messages.1, messages.2, etc); the oldest messages are from July 25th. The rpm -qi reports that the package was installed June 14th. Verifying with rpm -qV succeeds. Running syslogd -d and then sending it messages through "logger" reveals that syslogd is receiving messages, of various lengths (1 char in logger -> message size of 34, 2 chars -> 35, but the message is apparently empty. Example output: Successful select, descriptor count = 1, Activity on: 3 Message from UNIX socket: #3 Message length: 31, File descriptor: 3. logmsg: user.alert<9>, flags 2, from samwise, msg msg repeated 1 times, 124 sec of 60. Called fprintlog, logging to FILE /var/log/messages Calling select, active file descriptors (max 3): 3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.1-18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the system 2.Examine /var/log/messages 3. Actual Results: /var/log/messages is full of empty messages (timestamped but empty). Expected Results: /var/log/messages is full of system messages Additional info:
