Hi,

any ideas where the log files are for funplug package of openssh? they do not seem to be in /var/log/...

Thanks,
Tim

It uses syslog -- so look in /var/log/messages

Thank puterboy! I did not have the syslog deamon running. Now just need how to figure out how to make it start up on reboot...

That's pretty easy - just go to the ffp startup directory (usually "/ffp/start") and do a "chmod a+x syslogd.sh".

It is important to know that this version of syslog doesn't use a "syslog.conf" file. If you want it to do behave different than the default settings (for example log to a different directory) you need to supply the correct command line parameters. You can add/change these in the "syslogd.sh" script itself. Just look for lines starting with "klogd_flags=" and "syslogd_flags=".

On my system the header looks like this for example:

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: syslogd klogd
# BEFORE: SERVERS
# REQUIRE: rcS

. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr

name="syslogd"
syslogd_flags="-O /USB/var/log/messages -l 6"
klogd_flags="-c 3"
start_cmd="syslogd_start"
stop_cmd="syslogd_stop"
status_cmd="syslogd_status"

Indeed that is easy... I was trying to figure out as well how to change the location of the log. Thanks for that Silversurfer!
