On Ubuntu 12.04 64bit desktop as well as 64bit server, I had no luck to
convince owserver (from the universe package owfs 2.8p13+dfsg1-5build1)
to log/output _anything_ to stderr or syslog, regardless of the settings
in owfs.conf and/or commandline options. Other than that, owserver works
as intended, and options other than --debug, --error_print and
--error_level have their desired effect.

Typical command I use to install owfs:
sudo apt-get/aptitude install owfs owfs-dbg ows-doc


After getting tired of stracing owserver to help me debug my intermittent
physical 1-wire issues (or get a clue why this owserver is so silent), I
built owfs (2.8p16) from source following the instructions on
http://owfs.org/index.php?page=building-under-ubuntu

To my surprise, the freshly built owserver is syslogging & debugging
like a charm, and after replacing the old binary with the new one,
everything worked as intended - so I did not mess up my config files,
after all...

Can anybody confirm this behavior, and if so,
any idea of what went wrong in the ubuntu package?

Cheers,
        Martin
