Syslog & splogger Question

Post #1 of 4 (1700 views)

My SYSLOG isn't logging with "SMTP" connections. It works with the qmail
deliveries.

From my "rc.local", look at the "splogger" part

tcpserver -v -c 20 -u 51 -g 30 0 qmtp tcpcontrol /etc/tcp.sm
tp.cdb qmail-qmtpd 2>&1 | splogger qmtpd 16 &

From my /usr/include/sys/syslog.h

#define LOG_LOCAL0 (16<<3) /* reserved for local use */

From /etc/syslog.conf

mail.debug /var/log/qmail.log
local0.alert;local0.info;local0.warning /var/log/qmail-smtp.log

When I telnet to port 25 from a remote machine, this is what I get.

/usr/sbin/syslogd -d

got a message (1, 0x2)
logmsg: pri 206, flags 2, from mail2, msg Feb 10 14:37:32 smtpd:
855610652.882625 tcpserver: pid 597 num 0 from 207.0.50.10

855610655.633158 tcpserver: end 597 status 256

And it isn't logging to "/var/log/qmail-smtp.log"

Thanks for your help. This list is great!

Did you consider that syslog only logs to a file if the file is
already existent?

Yes, the file exists and has 777 permissions.

Unlikely to be the problem, but I occassionally forget that
syslogd.conf *must* use a tab to separate the tokens. A cut-and-paste
that results in spaces silently fails.

A good trick is to run syslogd -d from another window to see what it
thinks is happening.

Regards.
