How to enable log files (eg. /var/log/auth.log)?
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

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. Smile
I hope no-one will come through.
