Log Messages
============

   In the following sections a brief explanation is given of some of the
log messages made by Amd.  Where the message is in `typewriter' font,
it corresponds exactly to the message produced by Amd.  Words in
"italic" are replaced by an appropriate string.  Variables, `${var}',
indicate that the value of the appropriate variable is output.

   Log messages are either sent direct to a file, or logged via the
syslog(3) mechanism.  Messages are logged with facility `LOG_DAEMON'
when using syslog(3).  In either case, entries in the file are of the
form:
     date-string  hostname amd[pid]  message
Menu
