That only could happen if the log files 
were all ready in syslog.conf.

Good try.
You have good grasp of how logging works.

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance if it turns out I'm totally off track here
but do you need a line in /etc/syslog.conf such as:

!name-of-your-script
*.*                     /var/log/dhcpd.log
^^^
or whatever level of logging you want


I couldn't get named to log so to /etc/syslog.conf I added

!named
*.*                    /var/log/named.log

and manually created /var/log/named.log

to have messages of all levels logged.

Just a shot in the dark...

Best Regards,

Duane Whitty
