List,
Just in case anyone else is interested. My problem stemmed from the
fact that I must have chosen "LOW" as my security level, instead of
"MEDIUM". On msec level 3 or greater the syslog messages are written to
/dev/tty12 by default. So to solve my problem of the missing messages,
I just ran `msec 3` in a console as root.
Afterward I was able then to figure out that the real fix was adding
the line `*.* /dev/tty12` to the end of my /etc/syslog.conf file. This
is what redirects all "*.*" syslog messages to /dev/tty12.
Thanks,
Jim
