cannot connect by dialup
 
It was working all fine. But I deleted all the thing in the /var/log dierectory.Now auditd won't start. The log file /var/log/messages says
auditd:cannot access /var/log/auditd :Permission denied
I replaced all the files from trash, but it didn't do
I also changed the log file to /tmp/auditd.log from /etc/auditd.conf, but it also says "permission denied". Now I can't establish a connection. pppd exists with error 19.It says "cannot authenticize to peers". Does this have anything to do with auditd?




Will I have to reinstall Fedora Core 4?
I am sure that you can answer me. I am afraid of reinstalling because all my downloaded programs will be lost.


Please Help me.

Check the file permission on that (ls -l)

The file permissions
 
I did ls -l on /var/log and I got the result as
(for audit dierectory)
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 19:22 audit




Thank you for your help. But I don't wanna reinstall my system
