I suspect I'm SOL...(Linksys WAP is Linux I think. They do have the
source code available for D/L)
local0.* /var/log/local0.log
local1.* /var/log/local1.log
local2.* /var/log/local2.log
local3.* /var/log/local3.log
local4.* /var/log/local4.log
local5.* /var/log/local5.log
local6.* /var/log/local6.log
user.* /var/log/user.log
restarted syslog service and then rebooted WAP but all of those files
are still empty ;-(
Thanks
