Good evening, Joe,

Hi All.

I find myself on an Ubuntu cloud server and I'm a Debian guy. It feels comfortable, sort of, which could be dangerous ;-)

The default log settings on Debian are more verbose I think. Is syslog supposed to be empty? That makes me nervous.

        One quick way to test it is to run:

logger Testing syslog

And see if that shows up in one of the log files. If not, something's definitely wrong.




Thanx.
