10.4: Enable remote logging in 10.4
Authored by: sjk on Mar 31, '06 12:59:28PM

A bit of followup:

• The local4 change to syslog.conf is an application/host-specific modification. It'll be ineffective unless something generates syslog messages for it (e.g. the firewall mentioned in the original hint you referred to).

• You could run "Go to Folder..." [shift-command-G] from Finder, type /System/Library/LaunchDaemons to open that folder (or, "open ..." it from Terminal), then drag/drop com.apple.syslogd.plist to whichever writable location you want to save a backup copy. Saving it on the Desktop is probably not the best choice.

• It's not necessary to type the full pathname for launchctl paths. Also, restarting the syslog daemon can be accomplished by sending it a SIGHUP (e.g. "killall -HUP syslogd).

• Peter Borg's Lingon is a nice GUI for creating/controlling launchd config files.
