I have tested syslog(). I find out: (1) The log messages will go into /var/log/messages and appear on the console only after I login in (as root). (2) The LOG_INFO priority does not cause the messages to appear on the console or to be written into file /var/log/messages. Can anyone explain the reason for me?
