[OM2008-12] syslog output...

2009-01-22 Thread john dowd
I see the syslog.conf file says to put the messages in
/var/log/messages but there is no file and no logged output. I really
need to see the log from when the system was booting. syslogd-ng is
actually running so where is its output?

Cheers!!

 Doesn't logread show the syslog? IIRC it does Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Re: [OM2008-12] syslog output...

2009-01-22 Thread john dowd
Actually I spoke too soon.

When I watch my FR boot, I can see the wpa_supplicant is printing out
some errors and a fair amount of text as to what the error is. When I
do a dmesg those messages are not there, when I do a logread to a
file and examine the file, it's not their either. Also, logread is the
output from the driver and kernel printk primitive, not what I would
see in a proper syslog which is where wpa_supplicant and various
startup daemons would print.

Cheers!!
