Some logging not working after reinstallation
I have just reinstalled debian potato on this system and now some things
don't work as they did before. Now I copied a lot of my config files
before reinstalling so things really should be the same.
Here is a specific example: I run fetchmail after establishing my ppp
connection - it all works fine and gets the mail fine but I no longer
can watch the progress in /var/log/syslog - no logging whatsoever.
I call fetchmail with the --syslog flag and also the fetchmailrc has set
syslog in it. It is also the same fetchmailrc and script calling
fetchmail as I had on the previous system which worked fine.
I think it must have something to do with how I installed sysklogd or
something like that. But I have checked /etc/syslog.conf and it is the
same as on another potato system which works fine - also with same
fetchmail calling script and substantially the same fetchmailrc.
It doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mark.
