SCO /var/adm/messages and syslog problem

Hi

I have a problem with the messages and syslog files on a Sco OpenServer 5.5 box. We had to remove and recreate them on Friday, but I (stupidly I know) didn’t note the correct ownerships and permissions and they aren’t being written to now. Can anyone enlightn me? The logs are in /var/adm

Many thanks

Matt
