Here is what works for me, logging a router running pFsense:: In /etc/rc.conf: syslogd_enable="YES" syslogd_flags="-a 192.168.0.1 -v" In /etc/syslogd.conf: +pfsense *.* /var/log/pfsense.log +* In /etc/hosts: 192.168.0.1 pfsense Then, do a /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart I should note that in /etc/syslogd.conf the +pfsense entry block is after the cron.* entry and before the *.=debug. I seem to remember that when I appended the +pfsense block to the end of /etc/syslogd.conf, everything was logged to /var/log/messages - may be I made a typo then (?); I didn't think that the order of entries matters... Hope this helps, -- Janos Dohanics _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
