Luke, see syslog.conf(4) - you should use just one line with the 
highest level you need, it automatically logs all less eloquent levels.

also, facility.level *must* be separated from the file via 
tabelators, not spaces, if that could be an issue there as well. I also 
suggest to log to a specific file, it will be easier to read then. Do 
not forget to manually touch the file before restarting the syslogd, it 
will not be automatically created.

[osol-discuss] how to get logging happening

2010-03-17 Thread Luke Vanderfluit
Hi.

I have a solaris 10 box that houses samba shares. The box becomes inaccessible 
at unpredictable times. I want to enable logging to see what activity is going 
on and log that to /var/adm/messages

I have edited the syslog.conf file and added the following lines:
user.debug   /var/adm/messages
user.info   /var/adm/messages
user.crit   /var/adm/messages
user.emerg  /var/adm/messages
user.err/var/adm/messages
user.alert  /var/adm/messages

then I restart syslogd. I dont see any messages in /var/adm/messages other than:
Mar 18 09:32:09 storage.interact syslogd: going down on signal 15

I want to see user activity to the samba shares... how do I do that...?

TIA.

Kr.
