something wrong with the logs on this server since it only has this month's data in /var/log/messages and /var/log/message.1 - 4 doesn't have much either. I'll have to investigate this first to see what's up.
Nothings wrong, plain syslog dont log year. For this you have to use alternative syslog daemons like syslog-ng or rsyslog (not sure about the latter one). But you can always rotate with a filename scheme that has the year in it.
