I restarted a bunch of services that I think used to be running, but I really believe they have nothing to do with syslogd. As you stated, man syslogd and see how to start in debug mode. Strace starts it and detaches as it should, so nothing to really see there. Thanks all for the help.. I'm sure I'll be back.....! Sam
