OK, test system with OpenBSD 7.9 AMD64 here.
I installed the rsyslogd pkg.
I copied the sample conf file over to rsyslog.conf
Here's the relevant part of rc.conf.local...
pkg_scripts=rsyslogd
syslogd_flags=NO
rsyslogd_flags=
I rebooted the test system.
I then saw ...
# ps auxww | grep syslog
_rsyslog 23994 0.0 0.1 7452 2560 ?? I 6:47PM 0:00.00
/usr/local/sbin/rsyslogd
So the rc.conf.local entries seem to have worked.
Yet, when I try
logger test
/var/log/messages does not show that entry.
What am I missing?
thx.
