The router has been set up to log to the local2 facility and I've added these lines to the end of /etc/syslog.conf: !* +P650R-31 local2 /var/log/router/zyxel and created the log file and restarted syslogd (kill -HUP) - the machine has also since been rebooted. There is an entry in /etc/hosts for the router. I originally made both router/ and router/zyxel 644 root/wheel but have also tried changing the perms to 777 and changing the group to network. Can anyuone suggest why this is not working? Thanks. Regards, Mark
