Hi there,

Some things to look out for:

Once you've added your entries to /etc/syslog.conf you need to do the
following:

o  '/usr/bin/touch LOGFILENAME' - for example if your log that you
   specified in /etc/syslog.conf was ftpd.log you would 'touch
   /var/log/ftpd.log'.

o  Get the PID for syslog and 'kill -1' it so that it re-reads the
   config.

Other than that, you'll need to dig a little if it's not one of these
more obvious problems.

Cheers,
Marc
