I've been asking around, and no one seems to have any idea what I'm talking about, so I think I'm encountering a bug. I enabled PAM debug messages because I'm trying to track down an auth problem with netatalk. I found that none of the messages were going to /var/log/messages. As far as I can tell, I have syslog set up right. As far as I am able to surmise, when you start a daemon wtih start-stop-daemon and you have enabled "use logger", then stdout and stderr should be automatically logged. This doesn't appear to be happening. When I restart a PAM-using daemon, my terminal fills with the sorts of messages I'm looking for, but then they stop and don't get logged anywhere. I had to manually pipe the output to a file by editing the script in /etc/init.d. Sorry if I'm way off base, but the docs on this don't seem to be very complete. Also, someone else has encountered this and also had to make the manual hack. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-507085.html Reproducible: Always

ssd does not redirect stdout/stderr by default by design. it does provide --stdout/--stderr options to redirect things, but it doesnt send them to the syslog. this is expected behavior. if you want netatalk logging via syslog, then that is something to change in netatalk itself.
