FC5: syslog not logging?

It appears that syslog has stopped working since I restarted my FC5 server yesterday, about 24 hours ago. There have not been any entries made in the following log files since the shut down yesterday: cron, maillog, messages, rkhunter.log, or secure.

syslogd and klogd are shown to be running. When the server is now shut down, the shut down of system logger is shown to fail.

Where do I start to find the solution to this problem? Are there there any ideas of suggestions? I haven't been able to find anything on Google or the list archive.
