# uncomment this to enable logging of all log messages to /var/log/all.log # touch /var/log/all.log and chmod it to mode 600 before it will work *.* /var/log/all.log
Now you need to uncomment the previous line to enable syslog to log to a central logfile. Once uncommented you will need to #touch /var/log/all.log and now chmod 600 it. #chmod 600 /var/log/all.log and restart syslogd #killall -HUP syslogd. Now to test if it is working just #cat /var/log/all.log
