Syslog?

15 Oct 2008

      Hello,

   Running FreeRadius 2.0.5, with the following log related config:

logdir = syslog
log {
         log_destination = syslog
         syslog_facility = local7
         stripped_names = no
         auth = yes
         auth_badpass = no
         auth_goodpass = no
}

I've found lots of conflicting info among the wiki, documentation, and  
list suggesting different statements (log_destination=, destination=),  
and perhaps outside of log{}.

I did look at the code, and it looks to me as if log_destination is  
the proper statement.

Regardless of what I try (and I have tried both destination= and  
log_destination=, both inside and outside of log{}), the server does  
not show it as a parsed command when I fire up attached with debugging:

[root@h36laa001:/etc/raddb]% radiusd -X -f

	proxy_requests = yes
  log {
	stripped_names = no
	auth = yes
	auth_badpass = no
	auth_goodpass = no
  }
}

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple.

Any ideas?
