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 |

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
