[NTLUG:Discuss] dhcpcd logging

[Rick Matthews]

I'm using dhcpcd (instead of pump) with my Verizon DSL, and I'd like to
have better logging of what is taking place.

Based on something I read somewhere, I added the following to
/etc/syslog.conf:
local0.*				/var/log/dhcpcd.log

I am getting information logged to dhcpcd.log, but the only entries logged
there are a boot up. (I'm also getting font server messages logged there.)

After that I saw the -d option on the dhcpcd man page:
-d     With this flag dhcpcd will syslog(LOG_DEBUG,...) messages for about
every step it does.  It's  recommended  to  use  this option since it
doesn't really produce too much output but will greatly help in resolving a
problems if any.

I am now starting dhcpcd with the -d option, and it *is* producing the
level of detail that I'm looking for... but it is logging to the console
only.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get it to log those messages to
either /var/log/messages or /var/log/dhcpcd.log?

Thanks!
