Luck?

ppp.log is a binary circular log[1], you have to use:

clog /var/log/ppp.log | grep band

[pfSense] log grep inconsistency

2014-05-13 Thread David Burgess
I have two firewalls running pfsense 2.1.3 amd64. One is nanobsd, the
other is full install. Why is it that when I do 'grep band
/var/log/ppp.log' on the embedded system I get the expected output of
lines containing "band", while on the full system I only get "Binary
file /var/log/ppp.log matches" for output. I can cat the file and see
its contents. Both systems have /var on ram disk.
