rwhod / ntpdate don't work ... amd64/-STABLE ...

Just looking over one of our AMD64 servers, and rwhod / syslog / ntpdate won't 
work on that server, although its running the same date/version ... I checked 
securelevel, and they are both running the same ...

rwhod generates no errors when I try to run it, and truss doesn't show anything 
since it does a fork:


stat("/etc/nsswitch.conf",{mode=-rw-r--r-- ,inode=24857,size=113,blksize=4096}) 
= 0 (0x0)
open("/etc/group",O_RDONLY,0666)                 = 3 (0x3)
fstat(3,{mode=-rw-r--r-- ,inode=24775,size=441,blksize=4096}) = 0 (0x0)
lseek(3,0x0,SEEK_CUR)                            = 0 (0x0)
lseek(3,0x0,SEEK_SET)                            = 0 (0x0)
read(3,"# $FreeBSD: src/etc/group,v 1.32"...,4096) = 441 (0x1b9)
close(3)                                         = 0 (0x0)
sigaction(SIGHUP,{ SIG_IGN 0x0 ss_t },{ SIG_DFL SA_RESTART ss_t }) = 0 (0x0)
fork()                                           = 90418 (0x16132)
exit(0x0)
process exit, rval = 0

So, I'm not 100% certain what I'm looking for ...

The network looks good, I can connected to the jails running on it, and, syslog 
runs in the jails themselves, just not the physical server ...

If I try syslogd from the command line, it generates an error:

# /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
syslogd: child pid 90996 exited with return code 1

I'm not out of disk space on any of the file systems ...

So, not sure what else I should be looking for here ...

Help?
