Because /dev/log is a symlink to /var/run/log which is a Unix-domain socket, created by whatever listens for connections. You'll want to use syslogd_flags="..." in /etc/rc.conf to add a bunch of <-l location> pairs. Or create a new rc.d script to create the hardlinks if you're wedded to that, and use the rcorder keywords to have ssh depend upon it, etc. Honestly, I'd start looking instead at having syslogd listen on a UDP socket on a non-routed address and send to that locally instead. See the "-a" option to syslogd, although contrary to docs my past experience has suggested that -a can't be repeated. -Phil _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
