Hi.

The solution is (probably) in the FAQ :-)

  http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html

Syslogd is quite particular about the use of TAB rather than space.  
Make sure there are *only* tabs between the `*.*' and the filename.  
Also, make sure you've got a line-feed after the filename and that 
you've sent a HUP (-1) signal to syslogd.

Cheers.
