is there anything special with syslogd under Neutrino ?
my /etc/conf looks as follows:
mail.* /var/log/maillog
. /var/log/syslog
The directory /var/log exists having any permission for everyone
Starting Syslog - Deamon ( simple by typing ‘sylogd’ ) and executing ‘logger
test’
I don’t get any result !??
thanks, günter

I’m not sure about RTP… but in QNX4 you had to have an empty file ‘syslog’
in that directory for it to work. I just used a text editor to open the file
and then save it.

Does those file “exist”, the comment line didn’t mean
anything to you?

I had some trouble getting syslogd to work as well.
Make sure the log files specified in syslog.conf exist and
try starting syslogd from within the /usr/sbin directory.
Make sure you also start inetd - it seems to be required by
syslogd although this is not clear in the docs. I guessed
this because /etc/services is listed as reference at the
bottom of the syslogd help page.
cd /usr/sbin
…/inetd &
…/syslogd -f /etc/syslog.conf
Hope this helps.
