Not having much luck here. Yes I created the entries in the
/etc/syslog.conf file complete with TABs. I create the log files in
/var/log via 'touch' and ensure that the permissions/priv is the same as
the original ppp.log. In /usr/sbin I created 2 links, ppp0 & ppp1 via
'ln -s ppp /usr/sbin/ppp{#}. After doing this, I reboot the box and
initiate a ppp connection. I watch ppp come up; dial; negotiate PPP and
then I hang it up. The ppp{#}.log is empty.
I'm not running newsyslogd so I'm assuming that has nothing to do with
this. Please tell me if I'm wrong. At this point I started to play a
bit changing the priv on /usr/sbin/ppp (yes I was grasping at straws).
While I still have no problems dialing the ppp session I've noticed that
at reboot syslogd reports the error - syslogd: unknown priority name "".
Ok I give! I know I must be doing something very rookie-like....any
help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Fran
