AIX 5.2 Syslog : Help needed

Hi all,

I am trying to get the authentication logs of FTP,Telnet,SSH,inetd from the syslog file. But my output for every type of authentications - success & failure keep differing everytime i view them.

The output does not show the priority code (emerg, or 0, in any case). How do I get the priority code to be listed in the log as well so I can get my log viewer to differentiate message priority?

Regards
Kamadana

Logger::Syslog(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Logger::Syslog(3pm)

NAME
Logger::Syslog -- an intuitive wrapper over Syslog for Perl DESCRIPTION
You want to deal with syslog, but you don't want to bother with Sys::Syslog, that module is for you. Logger::Syslog takes care of everything regarding the Syslog communication, all you have to do is to use the function you need to send a message to syslog. Logger::Syslog provides one function per Syslog message level: debug, info, warning, error, notice, critic, alert. NOTES
Logger::Syslog is compliant with mod_perl, all you have to do when using it in such an environement is to call logger_init() at the beginning of your CGI, that will garantee that everything will run smoothly (otherwise, issues with the syslog socket can happen in mod_perl env). SYNOPSIS
use Logger::Syslog; info("Starting at ".localtime()); ... if ($error) { error("An error occured!"); exit 1; } ... notice("There something to notify"); FUNCTIONS
logger_init Call this to explicitly open a Syslog socket. You can optionaly specify a Syslog facility. That function is called when you use the module, if you're not in a mod_perl environement. Examples: # open a syslog socket with default facility (user) logger_init(); # open a syslog socket on the 'local' facility logger_init('local'); logger_close Call this to close the Syslog socket. That function is called automatically when the calling program exits. logger_prefix That function lets you set a string that will be prefixed to every messages sent to syslog. Example: logger_prefix("my program"); info("starting"); ... info("stopping"); logger_set_default_facility(facility) You can choose which facility to use, the default one is "user". Use that function if you want to switch smoothly from a facility to another. That function will close the existing socket and will open a new one with the appropriate facility. Example: logger_set_default_facility("cron"); LOGGING
Logger::Syslog provides one function per Syslog level to let you send messages. If you want to send a debug message, just use debug(), for a warning, use warning() and so on... All those function have the same signature : thay take a string as their only argument, which is the message to send to syslog. Examples: debug("my program starts at ".localtime()); ... warning("some strange stuff occured"); ... error("should not go there !"); ... notice("Here is my notice"); LICENSE
