What were you trying to do?
Check the mail syslog to see if a message I sent went out
to the right address.
What's wrong:
Nothing seems to be syslogging. Here is /etc/syslog.conf:
# Syslog daemon configuration file
# Project Athena Workstations
#
# $Header: /afs/rel-eng.athena.mit.edu/project/release/current/source/athena/config/files/bsd-4.3/RCS/syslog.conf,v 1.10 90/04/27 07:50:45 probe Exp $
#
# WARNING: Due to a bug in syslogd, the *.level messages must appear
# first on the line.
#
# local0 is for rshd
# local1 is for su
#
*.panic !*
*.warning;kern,user.notice @WSLOGGER.MIT.EDU
*.alert;auth.notice /dev/console
*.notice;kern.debug;local0.info /usr/adm/messages
local1.info;auth.notice /usr/adm/sulog
mail.info /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog
And here are the dates those files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 755 Dec 1 10:50 /usr/adm/messages
-rw------- 1 root root 40537 Apr 3 20:48 /usr/adm/sulog
-rw------- 1 root other 677 Dec 1 10:05 /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog
The syslogd process is running.
What should have happened:
I think something should have been logged since December 1.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
