FreeBSD8.1 Can't get Syslog file to Log dhcpd Solved.
Ah, the havoc of one stray space at the beginning of a line. I had noticed that all the other examples of various logs one could create in syslog.conf worked right. What on Earth was so special about: *.info;auth.info;mail.warning;cron.warning /var/log/syslog It's that one stray space before the first asterisk. I removed it and everything started working.

FreeBSD8.1 Can't get Syslog file to Log dhcpd
I have dhcpd running on a new 8.1 installation and I can't seem to get /var/log/syslog to work. I touched /var/log/syslog set to 644 and have restarted syslogd numerous times since then and it is still 0-length. I did add the following line to syslog.conf which has worked for probably 6 or 8 years: *.info;auth.info;mail.warning;cron.warning /var/log/syslog Logs such as /var/log/messages are working fine. Thanks for any suggestions. Our dhcp server is very busy so we really need these logs. I can see dhcpd trying to log if I run syslogd -d. Thanks for any suggestions.
