logs such as messages, boot.log, and kernel contained 0 size

[Frank Ling <frankling77@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My both CentOS 5 servers have logging problems. Logs such as messages, boot.log, kernel, spooler, and tallylog in /var/log directory are all 0 size.

The kernel is:  Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP.

Since the /var/log/messages contained no information it would be impossible to troubleshoot the problem.

I am very sure both systems have not been hacked by others.

Sincerely,

Frank Ling
