Hi, My rsyslog is not working as expected. I have some thing in rsyslog.d that do well, like this: # Log all iptables stuff separately :msg, contains, "iptables: " { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/iptraf/info") }
No problems with that. Bu what's in /etc/rsyslog.conf like: mail.* /var/log/mail/info
don't do anything at all. Rsyslogd -N1 is OK, rsyslogd -D -N1 looks good too as does rsyslogd -d -N1. Here is my rsyslog.conf. What am I doing wrong? # rsyslog configuration file
