OK, I ran syslogd with the debug mode turned one, but 
I dont think I understand the output:

# /sbin/syslogd -d
Allocated parts table for 1024 file descriptors.
Starting.
Called logerr, msg: network logging disabled (syslog/udp service
unknown).
logmsg: syslog.err<43>, flags 4, from server2, msg syslogd: network
logging disabled (syslog/udp service unknown).
Called fprintlog, logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Called logerr, msg: see syslogd(8) for details of whether and how to
enable it.
logmsg: syslog.err<43>, flags 4, from server2, msg syslogd: see
syslogd(8) for details of whether and how to enable it.
Called fprintlog, logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Debugging disabled, SIGUSR1 to turn on debugging.

Do you know what this means?
Does it mean that the syslogd is writing messages to the console?

Thanks,
	Neil.
