RE: honeyd0.8b not logging to syslog

 I've started honeyd with root privileges ( -u 0 -g 0 ) and even set
'/var/log/messages' permissions to 666 ... still no connection messages
showing up in /var/log/messages.  I'm perplexed.

Jeff, I haven't honeyd0.8b. But I would checked the effecty user of
henyd0.8b, and who can write to syslog's file. You checked it sure, but
it's the first thing i do.
 
Bye

        I have honeyd0.8b up and running on RedHat 9.0 with a simple

connection for any udp/tcp/imcp traffic hitting that address space.
        
        All is well except that honeyd does not log the connections to
syslog. It does log them to a file and it does log honeyd startup
information to syslog.
        
        Ideas?
        
        Thanks
