Search Again: Re: DNS keeps failing From: Men & Mice Support Date: Friday, October 1, 2004 Time: 10:12:22 am Hello Steve, QuickDNS by default sets up two logging channels. (If you set up any before installing QuickDNS, they are preserved.) The first is the QuickDNS Log, which is stored in a file in the named data directory (e.g. /var/named on some systems). The file name is quickdns.log. You can view this log in QuickDNS Manager by selecting the server in the Manager window and clicking on the Log button. (There are also menu items in both the Server menu and the contextual menu.) The second logging channel is the System Log, which is logged to syslogd. On Linux, the main syslogd log file is usually /var/log/messages - look for the named pid, or the string 'named', using grep. For example, since each log message is usually logged with the process name followed by the pid in square brackets: grep 'named\[' /var/log/messages Note that you can set what gets logged to each of these two channels, as well as any other channel, in QuickDNS Manager, in the server's Options window. Go to the Logging pane, select a channel in the drop-down menu at the top, and set the options (logging severity level and categories to be logged). Note that both (all) channels get logging messages, regardless of which channel is selected in the options window.
