    Hi,

    I wanted to log some authentication information, so I added following line to /etc/syslog.conf:
    auth.info /home/vilius/dir1/eeerrr.log
    After that I refreshed syslogd subsystem:
    refresh -s syslogd

    To check my logging I made few unsuccessfull attempts to login as root using ssh and telnet. After that I checked dir1 - nothing no single file!
    What am I doing wrong ?

    thanks
    Vilius
