Package: sysklogd Version: 1.4.1-18 sysklogd doesn't seem to accept changes to kern.debug (or indeed kern.anything). I'm using the standard sylog.conf with the addition of:
kern.debug /var/log/iptables.log If I change the priority to news.notice for example, I can succesfully add to the log with: logger -p news.notice Hello World - `date +%s` However I cannot do that if I use kern.debug. sysklogd is processing the rule (I assume correctly) as it's opening iptables.log: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME syslogd 2319 root 10w REG 8,1 0 591071 /var/log/iptables.log # date Wed Oct 17 09:18:50 BST 2007 But does not log to it: # logger -p kern.debug `date +%s` Hello World # stat /var/log/iptables.log File: `/var/log/iptables.log' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 591071 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 4/ adm) Access: 2007-10-17 09:14:10.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2007-10-16 13:26:37.000000000 +0100 Change: 2007-10-17 09:08:48.000000000 +0100 Thanks, Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
