log files (messages, etc) not being populated in VEs
In my VEs, my log files don't seem to be populated: total 116 -rw------- 1 root utmp 2688 Dec 15 16:01 btmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 15 16:08 dmesg -rw------- 1 root root 16032 Dec 8 14:52 faillog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146292 Dec 15 16:19 lastlog -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 24 13:26 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 24 13:26 messages -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 24 13:26 secure -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 24 13:26 spooler -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 24 13:26 tallylog -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 61056 Dec 15 16:19 wtmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5183 Nov 27 15:23 yum.log This is with a template I built myself (CentOS 5.2) and is consistent in each VE I'm running. Is this a known issue with OpenVZ, or have I done something wrong? Thanks! jbwiv
