Hi

Found out today no messages has been written to my /var/log/messages 
since last friday. It seems to have stopped after i istalled azureus. My 
last entry in the messages log is:

Tried to restart syslog, reboot, looked in my syslog config files but no 
luck.
my *.info messages has vanished. Tried adding mail.* to the 
/var/log/messages, and it got logged.

Need some advice how to find out what is going wrong.

Running 2.6.22.4-65.fc7
