When he got to it, it had all sorts of error messages about VM and paging on the console. But he could not login so I had him reboot it. But apparently the logger quit storing messages in the messages file about 1 A.M., the next messages were the reboot messages at 18:00. How does it work if I change it to send the messages to a remote host?
