[nsd-users] NSD not logging to SYSLOG

[cam]

Hi,

Running NSD on OpenBSD 5.4, I notice that nsd does not log to SYSLOG unless it
is run on the command line with the "-d -V 9" flags.

>From the manpages:
-l logfile
        Log messages to the specified logfile. The default is to log to
        stderr and syslog. If a zonesdir: is specified in the config
        file this path can be relative to that directory.

Running it as a normal daemon with "-V 2" flags should theoretically log to
SYSLOG but it is not the case.
When running, no socket file is created in the /var/nsd/dev/ directory (even
if I changed the permission to _nsd:_nsd), is this normal?

Would appreciate any hint or help,

Cheers,
cam
