I have one centos 4.0 server which /var/log/messages was always empty (0 bytes). I wonder what has been blocking the syslog to write the log.
Firstly, I'd suggest updating to 4.5.
This is the production machine and has been runing for years, so upgrading OS is not not my first option :)
"Yum update" shouldn't be that detrimental to a production server. And you will get the benefit of security updates. A server that isn't logging seems already "broken".
