Well Donna I may need a beating to get this thru my thick skull. I set up syslog but it is not logging anything. Well it does log the startup but that is all. The syslog.conf file is: *.emerg * *.alert /tmp/syslog.log *.crit /tmp/syslog.log *.err /tmp/syslog.log *.warning /tmp/syslog.log *.info /tmp/syslog.log *.debug /tmp/syslog.log *.notice /tmp/syslog.log Any ideas?
