X-Nntp-Posting-Host: lawson.ripco.com Message-ID: <DtzLHy.5wn@rci.ripco.com> Sender: usenet@rci.ripco.com (Net News Admin) Organization: Ripco Internet BBS Chicago Date: Wed, 3 Jul 1996 21:39:34 GMT X-Ident-Sender: dr Lines: 13 I can't seem to do anything with syslogd except use the default configuration. Adding additional lines to change where some events are logged does not work- it appears that syslog is not willing to create new files in /var/log ? If I manually create the files, it will use them, but it won't create them if they don't exist. This breaks a lot of standard log rotating scripts. -- David Richards Ripco, since Nineteen-Eighty-Three My opinions are my own, Public Access in Chicago But they are available for rental Shell/SLIP/PPP/UUCP/ISDN/Leased dr@ripco.com (312) 665-0065 !Free Usenet/E-Mail!
