Hi, A couple of hours after my original question I found out an interesting point: When running syslogd with the "-d" (debug-flag) messages get written into the file configured in /etc/syslog.conf - when running without the debug-flag nothing gets written. To be specific: With the above syslog.conf entry and /etc/rc.conf containting 'syslogd_flags="-d"' I get the following output on the console: cvthname(192.168.9.95) logmsg: pri 275, flags 0, from switch1-1, msg 1390: Feb 6 13:59:40 MET: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by ej1 on vty0 (192.168.9.16) Logging to FILE /var/log/cisco-syslog Sure enough this log message is in the cisco-syslog file. As soon as I turn off debug in syslog (i.e. running without the "-d" flag) nothing gets written to the cisco-syslog file. Why are messages only written to the file when running syslogd in debug mode?? TIA for any clue, -ewald _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
