Well .. you can enable by uncomment the # from the first line in /etc/syslog.conf
when you reboot the log files will get started ..
*.info and or *emerg to files will grow and grow fast..
If I may suggest doing a tail on the log files in /var/log to get the last 10 lines..
?? what is your tmp files and disk space like ?? du -s ?? ls /tmp ???
Good Luck..

Thanks for responding. No idea at this point what is "breaking", other than the server stops responding to input, either from kb/mouse or network. This server runs our anti-spam program for external mail.
So what I am wanting to do is somehow open a log that may give some indication of what might be happening. When it occurs I have to restart server by restarting.

?? which log file are you looking for ??
There are a "bunch" in /var/log..
try doing a ls -lt to get a long listing sorted by date..
If you have any local ones they should be defined in /etc/syslog.conf
That file will/should show you where "the normal" log files are being saved.
??any ideas on what is breaking ?? and is it a file server or a samba server or a print server ??
Hope this helps

Thanks in advance,
