Usage of syslog

The syslog messages can be displayed via the web-interface via:

Text Only
Status > Syslog

You can filter on some items depending on your configuration and used
packages (e.g. hostapd, login, INADYN).

Another option is to view the messages via a telnet or ssh connection
using the following commands:

Text Only
logread

You can monitor the syslog messages where all new messages are displayed
using the command:

Text Only
logread -f

(With CTRL-C you can stop the monitoring.)
