Hi! I have been running my FreeBSD server for some time now and I've noticed that some of the commands that I have in syslog.conf don't seem to be being carried out. I have read the man pages without finding any reason these things are not working. Below is my syslog.conf file. This is FBSD 4.1 Release. Even though I expect log entries to be generated every time I connect through sshd, the auth.log file has remained empty and its last modified date is over a year ago. My /etc/ssh/sshd_config file does say: SysLogFacility AUTH LogLevel INFO Mount.today, mount.yesterday, natd.log, security, syslogd and userlog have also not been modified since 2000. The named programs (ftpd, imapd, etc.) seem to be logging correctly. Also, root (me) never receives any notifications except for the different periodics. I will appreciate any advice anyone has. I use ee as my editor so I suspected that the tabs were really spaces so I redid all the tabs in vi with no change. Thanks, John Bolster Here is the syslog.conf file: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/syslog.conf,v 1.13 2000/02/08 21:57:28 rwatson Exp $ # # Spaces are NOT valid field separators in this file. # Consult the syslog.conf(5) manpage. *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err root security.* /var/log/security security.* root mail.notice /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/log/cron *.err root *.notice;news.err root *.alert root *.emerg * # uncomment this to enable logging of all log messages to /var/log/all.log #*.* /var/log/all.log # uncomment this to enable logging to a remote loghost named loghost #*.* @loghost # uncomment these if you're running inn # news.crit /var/log/news/news.crit # news.err /var/log/news/news.err # news.notice /var/log/news/news.notice !startslip *.* /var/log/slip.log !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log !natd *.* /var/log/natd.log !named *.* /var/log/named.log !ftpd *.* /var/log/ftpd auth.* /var/log/auth.log !imapd *.* /var/log/imapd.log !sendmail *.* /var/log/maillog !ntpd *.* /var/log/ntpdlog To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
