Hi all,
I've enabled remote logging on my NetGear router, and I've configured it to send to my syslog server (Feisty 7.04) using "local7".
Within /etc/syslog.conf I have
# JRW For Netgear
local7.* /var/log/router.log
and I am seeing entries logged successfully in syslog:
Jun 2 10:50:05 192.168.1.1 DGFV338 Logout succeeded for user admin
Jun 2 10:50:09 192.168.1.1 DGFV338 Login succeeded: user admin from 192.168.1.101
However, my /var/log/router.log file is always empty.
What am I missing? Am I correct in speciifying local7.* in the conf file?
Many thanks,
Jim
PS Running logger:
logger -p local7.info "Hello" successfully writes to the router.log file. So does this help?
