Soekris net4501 & syslogd

[openbsd@sybrespace.de]

Hi Group,

I'm currently working on a setup for a Soekris net4501. Now that works
quite impressivly but at the moment I have trouble getting pppoe to work.
The other problem is, that can't debug nor see the output of 'ppp' because
syslogd isn't writing anything in its log files except for start, restart an
shutdown messages. The system was created with Chris' flashdist and modified
as needed based on OpenBSD 3.4 stable.
I tried using 'logger' to create entries in the message log but no luck here.
The syslog.conf I use is the following:

*.err                                                   root
*.notice;auth.debug                                     root
*.alert                                                 root
*.emerg                                                 *

Syslogd itself is started with '-p /tmp/log' as /tmp is the mfs filesystem. The other fs / is mounted -ro (it is the CF-Card).

So could anyone point me towards the 'root of the evil'? Except for syslogd
and ppp the things runs smoothly :)
