How to enable log files (eg. /var/log/auth.log)? - psyLord - 30th Oct, 2014 03:50 AM
Hi,
I'm using RC3 and I can't find the log files, like /var/log/auth.log. If I remember correctly, logging was enabled in RC2 by default. How do I can enable it again?
Is 'sysklogd' the right choice?
I would like to have an eye on all the login attempts, and want to use fail2ban also.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers,
psyLord

Does no-one has an answer to this?

Personally I would install rsyslog since it is so feature rich and you're interested in logging.

Thanks a lot! It works. Now I can see again all those failed login attempts by those bots out there and can ban them.
I hope no-one will come through.

You're welcome. Those login attempts are just me testing your security
