Hi there,
I've tried pretty much everything, including checking the list archives
for a solution to my System logging problems. Originally, my intent was
to check for all failed and successful su attempts. The system is a
Alpha 2100 running Tru64 5.1A.
My syslog.conf file has a static link in the /etc directory pointing to
/cluster/members/{memb}/etc/syslog.conf. The permissions on the link
are: -lrwxr-xr-x root system. The directory the link is pointed to is
-rwxr-xr-x bin bin, which looks about right to me.
There are no spaces in the file, only tabs. I also tried stopping and
restarting the syslogd daemon. What is really interesting is logger
will not write to the log files either; I tried logger -p kern.debug
"testing...", but nothing showed in any of the logs or the console.
The contents of the syslog.conf file are as follows:
# syslogd config file
#
# facilities: kern user mail daemon auth syslog lpr binary
# priorities: emerg alert crit err warning notice info debug
kern.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/kern.log
user.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/user.log
mail.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/mail.log
daemon.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/daemon.log
auth.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/auth.log
syslog.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/syslog.log
lpr.* /var/adm/syslog.dated/lpr.log
msgbuf.* /var/adm/crash/msgbuf.savecore
kern.debug /var/adm/messages
kern.debug /dev/console
*.emerg *
I would appreciate any help.
TIA,
Ashley
