Is their anything that I need to do to configure sudo? I am sorry Mike, my answer was wrong :-|, I should have read your message more carefully. My answer was a stock answer to a stock problem with syslogd, and that is not having the file to begin with. But you have to do this in syslog.conf !sudo *.* /var/log/sudo you see sudo is not a standard facility, that is why you have to do this. So, go ahead append this to the end of syslog.conf, hangup syslogd and have Fun!!! :-) Cheers, BBTG > > On Thu, Nov 18, 1999 at 10:18:42AM -0500, mike.sellenschuetter wrote: > > I am a learning system administrator for a FreeBSD based system at Bank of > > America, and I am having a problem getting sudo to log to a file other than > > /var/log/messages.
