Re: Nothing logged in the log file...

can you elaborate more ?

I still don't know the answer. 


The man page is quite explicit:

      logfile <filename>
	      Specify  a  file	for  recording	debug log messages. By default
	      these messages only go to stderr and are not  recorded  anywhere
	      else.  Specifying  a  logfile copies messages to both stderr and
	      the logfile.


     loglevel <integer> [...]
	      Specify the level at which debugging  statements	and  operation
	      statistics   should   be	syslogged  (currently  logged  to  the
	      syslogd(8)  LOG_LOCAL4  facility).


I.e., loglevel controls what gets logged to SYSLOG.

logfile controls very special debug messages that usually only go to STDERR.

So there is not necessarily any correlation between loglevel and logfile.

You should be looking at wherever your syslog LOG_LOCAL4 messages go.
