2nd attempt guys... and some new details, this time a bit simpler syslog.conf (KISS principle) and a showing of my syslogd -d output. I'm mildly annoyed :) I did recently install tcp_wrappers, but I've tried this with both the pre-tcp_wrapper inetd.conf file and the current one, and still did the same thing. I've been trying to modify my syslog.conf to give more organized logging abilities... Everything seems to work ok except for the /var/log/secure... heres the conf file. Despite my cut and paste here, there really are tabs between the lhs and the rhs... Heck I even copied this off of a working bsdi 3.1 machine that works fine... still didnt work for me. the /var/log/secure file has been created and has permissions ->rw------- 1 root bin 0 Sep 17 11:01 secure And of course, I have restarted syslogd... boy that would have been a silly mistake eh? Also, when I put my syslogd into debug mode, it never says anything about logging into /var/log/secure... so what have I missed here? ----- START OF CONF ----- This is a simple conf file, but doesnt work.... *.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none;mail.crit /dev/console kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;authpriv,ftp,uucp,cron,news.none;kern.debug;mail.crit /var/log/messages authpriv.* /var/log/secure lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs mail.* /var/log/maillog uucp.* /var/spool/uucp/errors cron.* /var/log/cron ftp.* /var/log/ftp.log daemon.* /var/log/daemon.log *.emerg * *.notice;auth.debug;authpriv.none root --- END OF CONF ----- here is the syslogd -d output.... 8 3 2 3 5 3 3 3 3 3 X 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 X CONSOLE: /dev/console 8 X 2 X 5 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X CONSOLE: /dev/console 7 5 2 5 5 5 5 X X X X X 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 X FILE: /var/log/messages X X X X X X X X X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X FILE: /var/log/secure X X X X X X 6 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X FILE: /var/log/lpd-errs X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X FILE: /var/log/maillog X X X X X X X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X UNUSED: X X X X X X X X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X UNUSED: X X X X X X X X X X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X FILE: /var/log/ftp.log X X X 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X FILE: /var/log/daemon.log 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X WALL: 5 5 5 5 7 5 5 5 5 5 X 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 X USERS: root, logmsg: pri 56, flags 4, from backup, msg syslogd: restart syslogd: restarted Thanks for the much needed help..
