AIX 5.1.0.0 syslog mistery

[prae]

Hi all,



OK, I want to use syslog to send messages to a file.



In /etc/syslog.conf, I have:



local1.* /tmp/local1.out





Then I touch the file and give it 777 perm (for test purpose):



# l /tmp/local1.out

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 0 Sep 17 12:00 /tmp/local1.out









I refresh syslogd:

# refresh -s syslogd

0513-095 The request for subsystem refresh was completed successfully.









Then I run:

# logger -p local1.warning "This works fine"





and I check :



# l /tmp/local1.out

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 0 Sep 17 12:00 /tmp/local1.out





Still empty!



Does anyone have any idea what i'm missing?



# oslevel

5.1..0

# uname -a

AIX orinuxaix1 1 5 0032539C4C00

use local1.debug
if it still doesnt work, do stopsrc -s syslog; startsrc -s syslog
