Hello List, Just discovered that on one of my boxes (FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE #0 r286291) /var/log/auth.log is missing. /etc/syslog.conf: # $FreeBSD: stable/9/etc/syslog.conf 238473 2012-07-15 10:55:43Z # brueffer $ # # [commented stuff] # Consult the syslog.conf(5) manpage. +10.10.10.2 local0.* /var/log/pfsense.log +* *.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages security.* /var/log/security #auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log auth.debug;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs ftp.info /var/log/xferlog cron.* /var/log/cron *.=debug /var/log/debug.log *.emerg * # uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console # [commented stuff] # # Cyrus local6.debug /var/log/local6.log !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log !* /etc/periodic.conf: monthly_statistics_enable="YES" monthly_statistics_report_devices="YES" monthly_statistics_report_ports="YES" daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" # 406.status-gmirror daily_status_gmirror_enable="YES" I have restarted syslogd, however, no /var/log/auth.log, even though I took actions such as ssh login which should trigger entries in /var/log/auth.log. How can I fix this problem? Any guess what might have caused /var/log/auth.log not be created? -- Janos Dohanics
