I have set-up syslogd to receive messages from remote hosts to centralize my logs on one server. Mainly for routers and switches at this point.
I am running Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Kernel 2.6.9-1.667smp
I have setup my switches to send the logs to the proper host and have set the facility to local6.
In syslog.conf I setup local6.* to write to the file /usr/local/logs/core-switches. OOHH NOOO ... syslogd cannot write to this file. When I change the target file to /var/log/core-switch it works fine.
WHY?
If someone can explain to me why... I would greatly appreciate it.
Also... I run strace to see what is going on and I can send the results if anyone would like to see them.
Thanks,
