Hi All
I'm trying to get pppd to show
me each its authentication  transaction
and any other LCP stuff...

In this instance I am a ppp client.

 From the docs I see I am supposed to
do this in syslog.conf

# The authpriv log file should be restricted access; these
# messages shouldn't go to terminals or publically-readable
# files.
auth,authpriv.info                              /var/log/authlog
daemon.info                                       /var/log/pppdlog
cron.info                                             /var/cron/log
ftp.info                                                /var/log/xferlog
lpr.info                                                /var/log/lpd-errs
mail.info                                             /var/log/maillog

I seem to need something more here as
/var/log/ppdlog doesn't look much different than /var/log/messages

How can I get a more complete log of the transaction ?
