Full Discussion: no sshd log
Operating Systems Solaris no sshd log Post 302071032 by dsbeerf on Tuesday 11th of April 2006 02:24:13 PM

In MY /etc/syslog.conf, I have something telling the 'AUTH' messages where to 'go':

auth.info <tab><tab><tab> ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

If I do NOT have the machine 'loghost' defined on my network, AND I want all my 'logs' written locally,
I add an "alias" for 'THIS' machine as loghost in /etc/hosts.

If you have an entry in /etc/hosts for your machine that looks like this:

10.232.232.123 myhost.mydomain.com myhost

Then ADD 'loghost' to make the entry look like:

10.232.232.123 myhost.mydomain.com myhost loghost

THAT way, all your logs will stay on 'this' machine.

This should also work for you. Make SURE the 'whitespace' between columns are TABS, not 'spaces'.
There should be *NO* spaces between columns in /etc/syslog.conf.

Also, I do a:

touch /var/log/authlog

To make sure the file is there for syslog to write to, although I am NOT sure if this is necessary.
