I am not familiar with these programs, but keep in mind that these methods may not be the best choice. FreeBSD and BSDs in general are very nicely integrated. The solution might (or not) be in the base system. I guess there's no way to force that log level to stdout? You guessed wrong:) From ppp(8): It is also possible to log directly to the screen. The syntax is the same except that the word ``local'' should immediately follow ``set log''. The default is ``set log local'' (i.e., only the un-maskable warning, error and alert output). Something else of possible interest is that ppp, can serve its console over a socket making remote debugging possible.
