Posted by Vera on Monday May 21, @02:37PMfrom the dept. Hello, I'm having some trouble with my FBSD-6.2 syslog daemon- syslogd is doesn't seem to want to log anything uing local, as in local3. I have a router which I have configured to use syslog local3 and send it's logs to my freebsd workstation. As near as I can tell it's all working fine except for syslogd on my FreeBSD workstation. I have this in my /etc/rc.conf file: syslogd_flags="-a 192.168.1.1" # router1 I have this in my /etc/syslog.conf file: local3.* [tab over] /var/log/local3.log I have created the /var/log/local3.log file. I used 'chmod 600 /var/log/local3.log' to set permissions. TCP dump on my FreeBSD workstio shows: # tcpdump|grep local3 listening on xl0... 14:25:58.557133 IP router1.mydomain.com.syslog > bsd62.mydomain.com.syslog: SYSLOG local3.info, length: 180 Here's the kicker. If enable *.* /var/log/all.log in my /etc/syslog.conf file, then all of my router's logs are logged there. I find this strange since, as you can see from my tcpdump, the router is using syslog local3! Any idaes? < COOL: FreeBSD for the masses! | HOWTO: Create RAID1 on FreeBSD with gmirror >
