How can I start syslogd so I can then view the syslogd log? (I am using iptables)
I am using iptables, and I have a rule that makes a log.
But I can't see the log.
I can't seem to see anything iptables or syslogd related in /var/log that has anything.
I read on a page quoting the book knoppix hacks
"most of the services log to /var/syslog, which knoppix disables by default. To start the syslog service, go to K-menu..knoppix..services..start syslog which launches a terminal which displays live output ok of /var/log/syslog"
The problem is, I don't have /sys/log/syslog
And, I can't seem to start it.
In my K-menu...Knoppix, I don't see 'services' listed and 'start syslog' listed.
I can see the sysklogd service in /etc/init.d but starting it leads to some error messages-
knoppix@Microknoppix:/var$ sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd start
