I have the following set up as /etc/syslog.conf *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit /var/log/messages login.* /var/log/logins popper.* /var/log/pop3 ftpd.* /var/log/ftpd named.* /var/log/named mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/cron/log *.err root *.notice;auth.debug root *.alert root *.emerg * As you can see I have several entries for various services that I want separatly logged. popper named ftpd and login. As far as I understand (and can glean from man's) this should work, but suprise suprise doesn't. Any ideas? For reference the relevant /etc/inetd.conf has the following. ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l -S login stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rlogind rlogind pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper Am I just referencing the services wrongly in the /etc/syslog.conf.
