Re: ep driver does not start on 4.9 and 4.10

[doug]

Using pccardd worked. There is an entry for the 3Com Megahertz 589E in
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf. As the 7500 has a built-in sound card, I tried
removing irq 5 from the irq pool. However doing that causes the boot to hang
after:

  ppi0:  on ppbus0

I get a similar hang during startup if I add

  pccard_enable="YES"
  ifconfig_ep="DHCP"

to /etc/rc.conf

What is the correct way to do this?

Most likely the problem is /root filling up with stuff that shouldn't be
there--if you have created a normal user start using that one for your
daily activity and clean out all the app-related files and directories in
/root.

I'm not sure what you've done, but you have _way_ too much

/dev/da0s1a484M118M327M27%/

Can we please see the output of

Help with editing partition tables

[Phil Thomson]

Hi all,

I am a relative newbie to UNIX, going from being an ex-Windows user to
being an X Windows user! ;-) I recently got FreeBSD installed on an older
PC with a 3 GB drive and a 5 GB drive (which has not yet been mounted).
The system is installed on the 3 GB drive, but my current partition table
is inadequate to my needs. Here is the output of df -H:

/dev/ad0s1a   260M   254M -15.3M   106%/
devfs 1.0K   1.0K 0B   100%/dev
/dev/ad0s1f   3.4G   1.6G   1.6G51%/usr
/dev/ad0s1e   260M14M   225M 6%/var

As you can see /dev/ad0s1a is dangerously full, and I hadn't finished
installing applications yet (it got this full as I was
compiling/installing Pine). Is there a way to change the partition table
to allocate more space to /dev/ad0s1a? Sounds like a job for fdisk, but
"man fdisk" leave me none the wiser on how to proceed with this. I've
checked the online handbook too. Can anyone point me to a guide on this
process or give me some pointers? TIA!

Using kdm, shell script to declare my locales and startups...

[Bull TORS]

Hi,

I am using kdm and I have a ".profile" in my $HOME that contains the following 
declarations:
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP;   export LC_CTYPE
LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_ALL
LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_MESSAGES
LC_MONETARY=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_COLLATE
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP;   export LANG
MM_CHARSET=eucJP;   export MM_CHARSET
LANGUAGE=ja_JP.eucJP;   export LANGUAGE
XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2';   export XMODIFIERS
/usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -canna -xim &

When I use these settings in ".profile", I have no problems...Some of my 
Japanese-Characters written files are shown properly and I can use kinput2 to 
input Japanese Characters with just a little problem.  That problem is when I 
use Ctrl+Alt+Fn to access a console then it says an error 
that /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2is already running...
This prompted me to read the kdm help and I have read in the kdm help that 
when someone logs using kdm, the shell script Xsession is executed.
So I copied the settings about to my .xsession (is what I know) and .Xsession 
(is what is written in the kde help)...I tried both settings and also 
".xinitrc but I can no longer input Japanese Characters (kinput2 is not 
executed during login) and my Japanese-Character written files appeared 
garbled...
So, am I right in using .profile or do I have to create another text file that 
kdm knows?  Any help or advice would be really appreciated...

I'd gotten it to work with print/apsfilter port using the dj990 driver of
the hpijs package set. There were no native dj5550 driver 6 months ago
hence why I had to use the older driver. It worked fairly well. It's been
long since, the situation may have changed now.

The setup was fairly intuitive and I remember the first time round, I
managed to get it up and running within 5 minutes. However, you don't get
the flashy HP Printer Assistant so it's hard to run diagnostics such as
checking the ink level and whatnot.

Unfortunately there are no easy printing how-to AFAIK for new users
especially ones coming in from Windows.

I just set up my deskjet 5550 connected by USB today with CUPS. It worked perfectly in 
5 minutes. All I needed to do was connect to the CUPS server and set up the printer on 
/dev/ulpt0 with the new deskjet driver (built in). It was so easy it was almost plug 
and play! Follow http://www.freebsddiary.org/cups.php and you will be fine. Dont 
forget to change PATH or it wont work.

The canonical way to specify where temporary files should go is to set
the TMPDIR environment variable.  Most applications respect this.

...and low and behold the logs started working.  As you said, it doesn't

can't explain why it broke in the first place, but what's most important is
that it started working again.

Matt.

You did not reboot system before you captured the requested data,
but that is ok.

I will write this reply in an teaching manner, so don't think  I am
talking down to you.

The  command ps ax displays all the tasks running on your system.

  843  p0- S 0:00.03 syslogd -d
  847  p0- I  0:00.03 syslogd -d
 1214  p0- I 0:00.03 syslogd -dv

from your posted data for ps ax display the above says you have 3
tasks running syslogd in debug mode. An reboot will get rid of this
or you can kill the tasks by using the task number ie 843 for
example. Enter on the command line killall 843 to kill that task
then do ps ax to see that it's gone, then do same for the other 2
numbers  847 & 1214

***
 Now lets cover how syslogs are defined and the control of auto
rotate. This is very poorly described in man syslog and man
newsyslog. The command  man  is the command for display to console
the manual. So man newsyslog would display to the console screen the
manual documentation for the newsyslog command. Be for warned the
man documentation is very poorly written and conveys very little
useful info.

I will focus on the messages log file as an example to explain what
is happening, but same process applies to all log files defined in
/ect/syslog.conf.  In FBSD all messages to syslog uses 2 elements to
define the message, the facility and message level. In syslog.conf
the left side on the line is the facility.level.  The level
describes the severity of the message, and is a keyword from
the following ordered list (higher to lower): emerg, alert, crit,
err, warning, notice, info and debug.  Coding  *.notice means all
messages emerg through notice.

With that info, looking at your syslog.conf it is obvious there are
coding problems with some of the files, but nothing that would cause
an log file not to work. As general rule messages file is reserved
for FBSD system messages not application messages which have their
own log files. Local0 and local7 should not be going to messages
file as they have their own log files.
!local0.*;!local7.*;*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err
/var/log/messages this should be re-written as
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages


!local0.*;*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit   /dev/console
!local0.*;*.notice;news.err
/dev/console
!local0.*;*.alert
/dev/console

This is an real mess, should be re-written as
*.err;kern.debug;mail.crit/dev/console

I did not see an news group server enabled in rc.conf so news.err is
not necessary.
You will only see these console messages when you are logged in as
root, they are not saved in between logins.

This
local7.crit;local7.err;local7.notice/var/log/purchasing

should be this
local7.notice/var/log/purchasing
as all the higher message levers are included, does the same thing
as the original statement

Re: Changing /tmplocation?

[Alex E. Kelly]

I have a similar problem. I run Mozilla and it saves large .avi files to /tmp 
before saving them to the location I specified before the download. This 
limits the size of the files I can download because /tmp will fill before my 
download finishes, so I get a disk full error.

I had considered creating a symbolic link to make /tmp point to a new 
directory under /usr, but am concerned that this may create some issues.

Ideas?

md0: Preloaded image - system hangs on install

[Dan Harris]

Like the subject says.. I'm trying to install 5.2.1-RELEASE on a Compaq 
Proliant 6000 (dual Xeon, 1GB RAM, Compaq SCSI RAID).

When booting the CD: It gets to this message:
md0: Preloaded image (/boot/mfsroot) 4423680 bytes at 0xc09e16d8
at this point the system seems to hang with no recourse other than to 
restart.

The CD is known good (just installed fine on the box next to it, 
different hardware), and this box is currently running another OS 
without any problems.  Can anyone explain why this might fail and if I 
can do something about it?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have a Dell Inspiron 7500
(circa 1998) with a 3Com Megahertz card, model 3XXE589ET. On 4.9 and 4.10 the
device is not probed. there do not seem to be any irq or memory conflicts, just
nothing displays under network for boot -c.

Various attempts with ifconfig yield: interface ep does not exist.

It worked okay with 4.7 and works with 5.2.1 except with 5.2.1 XFree86 4.3 goes
into some sort of hard loop. As I use this a workstation when I travel, I am
pretty well snookered.

ITYM 'single file':

% ls -l filename

Where the 5th field in the output is the file size in bytes.
But there are very many other ways to get that information:

% wc -c filename
% stat -f %z filename

etc. etc.

Cheers,

Matthew

Changing /tmplocation?

[Joachim Dagerot]

I have, for some reason, a special partition that mounts to /tmp.
Unfortunately this partition is very small, so not seldom  do I get
problems when trying to extract files etc.

My idea is to have /tmp as a normal directory right under /, if that's
a bad idea I have a few other disks/volumes where it can reside.


My question is: how do I chaneg the /tmp location, when in INIT 5 I'm
not allowed, and since this is a server I don't have a keyboard nor a
monitor. So I must have it done through telnet (SSH). Is it possible,
and what steps must I take?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

if you're running FreeBSD 5-current, make sure that all of your
ports use the same thread library.

I don't know whether that will fix your particular crash, but it surely won't
harm ;-)

Appreciate your input.  I was thinking of the side-affect
bounces--that's why I qualified with 'at least it seems'.

For now, for maybe some small-N days, I'll enable the
delay_check feature.  If I get slogged by tons of junk,
I'll rely on dspam (or another filter).  Like just about
everything else, this is a learn-by-experience.

Are you referring to BIOS partitions or BSD partitions?

If you are refering to a BIOS partition, this is equivalent to a BSD slice
and the BSD partitions are created within it during the installation.
During a normal installation, sysinstall will create a single slice (BIOS
partition) to hold the BSD partitions unless you instruct it otherwise, so
this will not be a problem.

If you are referring to BSD partitions, I guess you could try removing the
default swap space created when partitioning then creating and configuring
the swap file before rebooting at the end of installation.

Viktor

Delay_checks does indeed work. However, there are some side effects that
need to be taken into consideration.

Since you're basically filtering on the delivery of the message,
sendmail doesn't check if the user exists until after acceptance. This
means, that for each and every spam message you receive for an invalid
user, Sendmail has to send a bounce back to the originator. See the
gotcha yet? If not read on. :)

For example, let's say, your mail server handles 50 - 100 thousand
messages every 24 hours, and 25 thousand of those are spam. Not too
uncommon in today's internet. Now, let's say that of those 25 thousand
messages, 20 thousand (conservative number) have forged return
addresses. You don't see these forgeries on unknown users under
Sendmail's normal config as the message is rejected at connection time.
Still don't see the gotcha? That's ok. I didn't either at first when it
happened to me. Let me explain what I saw with it.

If sendmail bounces after message acceptance, it now has to send a
bounce to each of those 20 thousand forged addresses. Each of those
messages will then bounce and return to postmaster after it can't
deliver them and at least, 2 things will most definitely occur.

1. The amount of mail sitting in your mail queue will increase.

2. The amount of mail to postmaster will most definitely increase as
these messages fail delivery to the forged originators.

If you're like me, you tend to keep tabs on your postmaster email for
possible problems, but in my experience, my mail load, both for the
server and in my mailbox, jumped 150% on my 2 mx's because of
delay_check. I ended up disabling delay_check and using amavisd and
spamassassin so that I can filter on connection.

I personally don't recommend delay_check to be enabled on a large
production mta. For smaller systems that don't pass a lot of email, it's
fine. However, for larger systems, I'd recommend using a different
method.

Maybe you need to update the port.

More likely, you need to delete the COMMENTFILE.
[If the COMMENTFILE was on your disk, but was not in the tree the
first time you ran cvsup, then cvsup will leave it alone, on the
assumption that it is a local modification.]

Strange Mozilla crash

[Daniela]

Hi!

My Mozilla hangs very often, and now I attached to the hanged process with gdb 
to see what's wrong. I have debug symbols in Mozilla, in every other program 
and in the entire OS. The backtrace is:

#0  0x28458d60 in __sys_poll () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4
#1  0x284582ac in thread_kern_poll (wait_reqd=1)
at /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_kern.c:817
#2  0x28457c71 in _thread_kern_scheduler ()
at /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_kern.c:493
#3  0x0 in ?? ()

When detaching from the program, I see the following:
The program is running.  Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) y
Detaching from program: /usr/ports/www/mozilla/work/mozilla/dist/bin/
mozilla-bin, process 33788, thread 1
ptrace: No such process

But the process is still there, so I don't know why ptrace can't find it.
What can I do now? I'm really curious what goes on in a hanging program, and 
maybe I can even fix a bug. I'm familiar with assembly language and also have 
basic C knowledge.

Regards,
Daniela

Outstanding idea, at least it seems.  This site has all
the details:

I think that most email to postmaster should be allowed,
any everything to abuse.

Re: FreeBSD installation on a single partition

[Lee Harr]

I'd like to install FreeBSD on a single partition, how can I do that?
The sys/installer complains about a missing swap partition, (I'd rather
use swap files though).

I have never tried this. It is very possible that the installer cannot
work without creating a separate swap partition.
What you might try is using 2 disks.
Install normally on to one disk, then copy the installation over to
the disk that you really want to use, remove the swap partition
from the fstab, and create the swapfiles you want to use.

I've had great luck with a serial camera, actually. It's a Kodak DC3200.
I access it via the gtkam plugin for the GIMP, which is by far (one of)
the best image editing program(s) for Unix (and Windows). If you don't

cameras that libgphoto2 supports.

disklabel(8) and df(1) should give you most of what you need. They'll 
certainly tell you about partitions, used/free space, etc . As for time of

Right -- the sasl versions of the OpenLDAP client+server can be
updated exactly as I showed.  Just make sure you edit pkgtools.conf's
MAKE_ARGS array so that 'WITH_SASL=yes' gets supplied to the
openldap22 ports as well as the openldap21 ports.

The ordering requirements are basically like I said: openldap client
first, then openldap server then everything else that depends on
openldap client.  If you just let portupgrade sort out the order of
all the other dependencies it will (probably) work just fine.

Since you can install several different versions of the BDB libraries
simultaneously, just install the one you want right at the
beginning. Hmmm.. of course, this shouldn't need to be said, but make
sure you dump out the contents of your LDAP server in ldif format or
otherwise make a backup of it in a format *which doesn't depend on the
precise version of the BDB libs you have installed*.  I think BDB's
on-disk data formats are pretty much compatible across versions, but
I'm not entirely certain.  Obviously make sure slapd and slurpd aren't
running when you start doing any of this.

Cheers,

Matthew

Thanks for the detailed response. I have decided to upgrade a number of
packages that are related, like Berkeley DB to version 4.2. Also, I have
the openldap-sasl-* packages installed working with SASL 2.1.18 and
Heimdal Kerberos 0.6, but I don't think I need upgrade these two
packages, they seem to be at their latest versions, so I guess from what
you're saying, I just need to reinstall these packages. Also, Postfix

When an task is HUPed does that change the task number? Or is the

You can use portupgrade do that, but it's slightly more complicated
than what you propose.  The way to upgrade to not just a different
version of the same port, but a completely different port is to use
the '-o' option to portupgrade.  Thus in principal to upgrade from
openldap21-client to openldap22-client you would run:

# portupgrade -o net/openldap22-client -f net/openldap21-client

which will replace the openldap21 client side with the openldap22
stuff, fixing up all the dependcy linkages in pkgdb as it does.
(Nb. there aren't any sanity checks while doing this, so you can in
theory persuade the ports system that 'quake2server' is an adequate
substitue for 'gcc34' and other insanities.  Be sure you understand
what you are doing.)

Now, the astute reader will have noticed the weasel words 'in
principal' in that first paragraph.  That's because things are
somewhat more complicated than you might hope.  The problem is that
the openldapXX-client ports provide several shlibs, and the ABI
version number has changed from one openldap version to the other:

% grep .so. openldap21-server/pkg-plist.client 
lib/liblber.so.2
lib/libldap.so.2
lib/libldap_r.so.2
% grep .so. openldap22-server/pkg-plist.client
lib/liblber.so.202
@comment lib/liblber-2.2.so.7
lib/libldap.so.202
@comment lib/libldap-2.2.so.7
lib/libldap_r.so.202
@comment lib/libldap_r-2.2.so.7

That means that all of the applications linked against the LDAP shlibs
have suddenly stopped working.  To fix them, all you need do is
reinstall -- the situation is analogous to the problem with
'libintl.so.N no found' thing that keeps coming up over and over on
this list.

Before we get too happy about doing that, first we need to take care
of the openldap server. But that's only if you've got one running on
this particular system.  It just takes the same sort of command line
as for the client upgrade:

# portupgrade -o net/openldap22-server -f net/openldap21-server

You may have to install some new versions of the Berkely DB library to
get that to work correctly.

Now you can re-install all of the other programs that link against the
openldap shlibs -- which is basically all dependencies of the
openldap-client port.  Note that openldap-server is also a dependency
of openldap-client, but there's no point in re-installing that again,
or anything else updated after the OpenLDAP client software:

# portupgrade -rf net/openldap22-client -x '>=openldap*client'

And that is really all there is to it.  Oh -- although don't forget to
put 'WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=22' into your /etc/make.conf or
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf once you're done.

Cheers,

Matthew

And I get nothing in the /var/log/lpr-errs log file.

syslogd -d  shows nothing happening.

I am running 4.9. virgin install so all the config files are there.

This is so simple that the only conclusion is that it's broken in
4.x versions.

Can any one verify that it's working in 4.x versions.

Any ideas of suggestions of how to proceed to get the logger command
working?

Logger works just fine if you know how to use it and are running it
as root
and is a good tool for working with syslog problems. The man pages
tell you
quite a bit about provided you can interpret them effectively.

man logger:

logger [-46Ais] [-f file] [-h host] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]

-p pri  Enter the message with the specified priority.  The priority
may
 be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level''
pair.  For
 example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as
informational
 level in the local3 facility.  The default is
``user.notice.''


man syslogd will give you a list of all priorities and facilities.

Priorities:

LOG_EMERG A panic condition.  This is normally broadcast to all
   users.

LOG_ALERT A condition that should be corrected immediately, such
as a
   corrupted system database.

LOG_CRIT  Critical conditions, e.g., hard device errors.
LOG_ERR   Errors.
LOG_WARNING   Warning messages.
LOG_NOTICEConditions that are not error conditions, but should
possi-
   bly be handled specially.
LOG_INFO  Informational messages.
LOG_DEBUG Messages that contain information normally of use only
when
   debugging a program.

Facilities:

LOG_AUTH  The authorization system: login(1), su(1), getty(8),
etc.
LOG_AUTHPRIV  The same as LOG_AUTH, but logged to a file readable
only by
   selected individuals.
LOG_CONSOLE   Messages written to /dev/console by the kernel console
out-
   put driver.
LOG_CRON  The cron daemon: cron(8).
LOG_DAEMONSystem daemons, such as routed(8), that are not
provided
   for explicitly by other facilities.
LOG_FTP   The file transfer protocol daemons: ftpd(8), tftpd(8).
LOG_KERN  Messages generated by the kernel.  These cannot be
gener-
   ated by any user processes.
LOG_LPR   The line printer spooling system: lpr(1), lpc(8),
lpd(8),
   etc.
LOG_MAIL  The mail system.
LOG_NEWS  The network news system.
LOG_SECURITY  Security subsystems, such as ipfw(4).
LOG_SYSLOGMessages generated internally by syslogd(8).
LOG_USER  Messages generated by random user processes.  This is
the
   default facility identifier if none is specified.
LOG_UUCP  The uucp system.
LOG_LOCAL0Reserved for local use.  Similarly for LOG_LOCAL1
through
   LOG_LOCAL7.

So, you have facilities of auth, authpriv, console, cron, daemon,
ftp, kern,
lpr, mail, news, security, syslog, user, uucp, local0 - local7 and
you have
priorities of: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info and
debug

So, by doing the command logger -p  
like so:

logger -p security.notice "This is a test of security.notice"

You get this in your security log which is default to
/var/log/security

May 16 03:24:14 router /kernel: ipfw: 65000 Deny TCP
222.90.22.52:4267
68.227.96.223:65506 in via ep0
May 16 03:30:03 router micheal: This is a test of security.notice

If you're running syslogd -d you'll see exactly what was sent to
syslogd and
where it was placed:

logmsg: pri 155, flags 0, from router, msg May 16 04:01:04 micheal:
This is
a test of security.notice
Logging to FILE /var/log/messages
Logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Logging to FILE /var/log/security
logmsg: pri 166, flags

Then you should have said so. But you did not - you simply told an

He might have done that, and if it had fixed his problem, he might have

Upgrading OpenLDAP 2.1.30 to 2.2.x

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

Can portupgrade be used to upgrade OpenLDAP 2.1.x to 2.2.x by changing
WITH_OPENLDAP_VER in my /etc/make.conf file to 22? Or do I have to
deinstall the 21 package, and reinstall 22 and everything that depends
on it?

With all due respect, but that is rather bad advice. I have been running syslog on 
FreeBSD 4.7R for years, without problem; and never ever did I have to resort to making 
/var/log/messages world-writeable. Besides, that is totally unnecessary too: syslogd 
runs as root, so only root needs write permissions (and, since it is root, probably 
not even that).

You can run syslogd like this:

/usr/sbin/syslogd -s

Or something like:

/usr/sbin/syslogd -a 192.168.6.0/24

if you need to log from remote machines. Your /etc/syslog.conf should look something 
like this:


*.err;kern.debug;mail.crit  /var/log/messages
*.notice;lpr.info;news.err  /var/log/messages
security.*  /var/log/security
mail.info   /var/log/maillog


Cheers,

It is totally false. Microsoft never sends out emails with patches for
it's software. In addition, they usually include a PGP key. You could
try running the email through SPAM COP, but it is probably not worth the
effort.

BTW, are you running any AV software? If so, and assuming it  is current,
it should have detected any attached virus or Trojan horse paraphernalia.

OK, in case of rc.conf the situation is pretty clear - the general 
system defaults are defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and if you want to 
change something you edit /etc/rc.conf whose settings override those 
of  /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
But what about make.conf? There is no /etc/defaults/make.conf on my 
sytem (5.2_RELENG), and looking at /usr/src/etc/defaults/ after running 
cvsup it seems that's correct.
I didn't notice when /etc/defaults/make.conf disappeared (during 4.x -->

koffice in this case (but I think all the other kde stuff and other 
ports too) have their own CFLAGS defaults, which get overridden by the 
system defaults specified in /etc/make.conf or whereever. Think that's 
OK.

450 Socket write to client timed-out.
9838592 bytes received in 41:21 (3.87 KB/s)
421 Service not available, remote server has closed

I typed: ftp -a ftp.freebsd.org
and cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/graphics
and get gimp-2.0.1,1.tgz.

I have tried this numerous times and was wondering if
you can help me.

This is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Logger works just fine if you know how to use it and are running it as root
and is a good tool for working with syslog problems. The man pages tell you
quite a bit about provided you can interpret them effectively.

man logger:

logger [-46Ais] [-f file] [-h host] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]

-p pri  Enter the message with the specified priority.  The priority may
 be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair.  For
 example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as
informational
 level in the local3 facility.  The default is ``user.notice.''


man syslogd will give you a list of all priorities and facilities.

Priorities:

LOG_EMERG A panic condition.  This is normally broadcast to all
   users.

LOG_ALERT A condition that should be corrected immediately, such as a
   corrupted system database.

LOG_CRIT  Critical conditions, e.g., hard device errors.
LOG_ERR   Errors.
LOG_WARNING   Warning messages.
LOG_NOTICEConditions that are not error conditions, but should possi-
   bly be handled specially.
LOG_INFO  Informational messages.
LOG_DEBUG Messages that contain information normally of use only when
   debugging a program.

Facilities:

LOG_AUTH  The authorization system: login(1), su(1), getty(8), etc.
LOG_AUTHPRIV  The same as LOG_AUTH, but logged to a file readable only by
   selected individuals.
LOG_CONSOLE   Messages written to /dev/console by the kernel console out-
   put driver.
LOG_CRON  The cron daemon: cron(8).
LOG_DAEMONSystem daemons, such as routed(8), that are not provided
   for explicitly by other facilities.
LOG_FTP   The file transfer protocol daemons: ftpd(8), tftpd(8).
LOG_KERN  Messages generated by the kernel.  These cannot be gener-
   ated by any user processes.
LOG_LPR   The line printer spooling system: lpr(1), lpc(8), lpd(8),
   etc.
LOG_MAIL  The mail system.
LOG_NEWS  The network news system.
LOG_SECURITY  Security subsystems, such as ipfw(4).
LOG_SYSLOGMessages generated internally by syslogd(8).
LOG_USER  Messages generated by random user processes.  This is the
   default facility identifier if none is specified.
LOG_UUCP  The uucp system.
LOG_LOCAL0Reserved for local use.  Similarly for LOG_LOCAL1 through
   LOG_LOCAL7.

So, you have facilities of auth, authpriv, console, cron, daemon, ftp, kern,
lpr, mail, news, security, syslog, user, uucp, local0 - local7 and you have
priorities of: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info and debug

So, by doing the command logger -p   like so:

logger -p security.notice "This is a test of security.notice"

You get this in your security log which is default to /var/log/security

May 16 03:24:14 router /kernel: ipfw: 65000 Deny TCP 222.90.22.52:4267
68.227.96.223:65506 in via ep0
May 16 03:30:03 router micheal: This is a test of security.notice

If you're running syslogd -d you'll see exactly what was sent to syslogd and
where it was placed:

logmsg: pri 155, flags 0, from router, msg May 16 04:01:04 micheal: This is
a test of security.notice
Logging to FILE /var/log/messages
Logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Logging to FILE /var/log/security
logmsg: pri 166, flags 17, from router, msg May 16 04:01:04 router micheal:
This is a test of security.notice

As you can see, I have *.notice going to messages and security.* to security
and /dev/console.

You've got a pretty high number of max logs with pretty hefty file size
limits. What's a df -k show on that system?

Something is listening already on port 514 and syslogd is complaining about
that. Do a sockstat |grep 514 and see what's sitting on that port. Also,
"can't open /dev/klog (16)" is another problem. That device is the kernel
log device so syslog can see kernel messages. Syslog may not be too happy
about that either.  You might check and see if you have a klog in /dev
