SQL Server 2005 not collecting logins in the log file

I am currently running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a Windows 2003 server machine. I have gone to the properties of the server and confirmed that the Login Auditing is set to both failed and successful logins. For some reason though there is nothing in the logins for fails or successes in the SQL Server logs when I know there have been logins for both. I have searched out the reason for this and have not been able to come up with anything helpful, so I am hoping that someone here could give me a little direction. This is working on my other SQL Servers, so I know where to look for the results, but there are none there.

Have you restarted the service since the Auditing of successful and unsuccessful logins are selected as the setting to use?

I don't believe that server has been restarted because it is a production server. Would changing the audit settings require a restart? The reason I ask is because I am doing this on several other servers and they are working just fine without the restart.
