For the last few versions of FreeBSD, I have not been able to get my syslog
to log my dial-up pool from my Cisco router.

I changed the syslog startup flags in rc.conf.

I'm running it now as /usr/sbin/syslogd -a 207.206.185.1/27 -a
209.83.132.1/27

The router is at .1 and configured to send it's logging messages to local7

syslog.conf is configured like this.

*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages
security.*                                      /var/log/security
auth.info;authpriv.info                         /var/log/auth.log
mail.info                                       /var/log/maillog
lpr.info                                        /var/log/lpd-errs
cron.*                                          /var/log/cron
local0.*                                        /var/log/local-0
local1.*                                        /var/log/local-1
local2.*                                        /var/log/local-2
local3.*                                        /var/log/local-3
local4.*                                        /var/log/local-4
local5.*                                        /var/log/local-5
local6.*                                        /var/log/local-6
local7.*                                        /var/log/cisco
etc...

None of the syslg files for local facilities gets data.

-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:45 local-0
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:45 local-1
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:45 local-2
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:43 local-3
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:43 local-4
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:43 local-5
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:45 local-6
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  wheel  0 Mar  8 11:35 cisco

Yet I do see data coming into this machine on the syslog port using tcpdump.

tcpdump -w dumpfile1 -vvv port 514

kira(403):[/var/log]-#tcpdump -r dumpfile1
12:23:05.378296 gw.54139 > kira.epconline.net.syslog: udp 103
12:23:05.378540 gw.54139 > kira.epconline.net.syslog: udp 125

12:24:06.577266 gw.54139 > kira.epconline.net.syslog: udp 125

Cisco config...
!
logging 207.206.185.2

gw(config)#logging facility local7

I did notice though while I was messing around with this stuff, this was
logged on one of my ssh sessions...

kira(416):[/etc]-#Mar 8 12:48:39.517 radiusd[6916]
/usr/local/sbin/radiusd:users testing and DEFAULT not found
Mar 8 12:48:39.519 radiusd[6916] Authenticate: gw1645, id=54: Neither User
Nor Default Name: testing

This is the logging information from the router which should be going to a
file in /var/log

I grep'd for radiusd from /var/log/* and go no results.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions? I really need to get my Cisco
logging working.
