(RADIATOR) Problem with AuthLog SYSLOG - ERR: Error while doing AuthLog SYSLOG: syslog: invalid level/facility: radius at Radius/AuthLogSYSLOG.pm line 110

[Hugh Irvine]

Hi Terry -

Both "user" and "localx" are "special" for syslog - specifically  
"user" is hardwired internally and is what is used as default if  
nothing else is specified.

I suspect "localx" also has some magic happening.

This appears to be the case according to "man -s 3 syslog".

I suggest you start with a simple Perl script that does logging to  
syslog for debugging purposes.

regards

Hugh
