super: does syslog work?
I've attempt to use the documented feature of super to direct its logging information to the syslog daemon without success. Logging to a file works. Here's an extract from /etc/super.tab: :global \ gethostbyname="n" \ logfile="/var/log/super.log" \ rlog_host="localhost" \ syslog="y" Any ideas why this doesn't work? -- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
