Add -C option which tells syslogd(8) to create log files if they don't exist.
Hmm. Note that newsyslog includes an option to automatically create files. Presumably the log files created by syslogd would need to be rotated, in which case they'll already have entries in newsyslog.conf. The advantage of creating them in newsyslog is that newsyslog knows what owner, group, and chmod bits the files should have. I would not say that I object to the idea of having this option in syslogd, but I'd think people would be much better off using newsyslog to create any of the files. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
