Okay I am trying to get chat working properly to connect to another
system for PPP. So I go to look for the log file to see what happened
and there is nothing there...I try playing around with syslog.conf file
and then look at the 'ps' list to see what syslogd's pid is. Well low it
is not running. I was wondering if some helpful soul will tell me why
when I try to start up syslogd I get the error
"syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested addresses"
I have tried changing the ownership on /dev/klog to daemon and the group
as well. If I touch /dev/log it is gone once syslogd has been run but I
get the same error. (I also got this error with timed but I currently
have it shut off and figure if I solve this problem I will solve the other)
Thanks a lot,
Simon
