syslog daemon wont start

T-One
Since yesterday the syslog daemon wont start, i dont know why and i cant check the logs (because of the stoped syslog daeom).

when i try to start syslogd over /etc/init.d i got the following error message:

:: Starting Loggingio.c: bind_unix_socket(): bind failed /var/chroot-pop3/dev/log (Address already in use)
Error initializing configuration, exiting.
startproc:  exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 1

does anyone knows a solution for this?

kind regards
t-one
