Michael,
Ok will that lead fizzeled out because once I set up my syslogd and used the same command line you provided I saw no issues and I can see all my debug commands. I am assuming that you're starting your syslogd with the -O command to specify an NFS mounted file (which uses TCP and RPC) and not the -R command which uses UDP (which over wireless could lose lots of stuff).
I know I'm asking lots of questions but with the strange log I have, I need to convince myself that what I'm looking at is actually correct or I'll end up going around in circles.
Cheers...
Sergio
