Re: [gentoo-user] Daemons log on Gentoo

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi Mark.. I made the proper changes and still not working.. :(

# vi /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
options {
        chain_hostnames(off);
        sync(0);
        perm(0640);
        dir_perm(0750);
        create_dirs(yes);
        stats(43200);
}

source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
source kernsrc { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
destination daemon { file("/var/log/daemon.log"); };
filter f_daemon { facility(daemon); };

destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_daemon); destination(daemon); };
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };


What is wrong?
