Log files

mgetty will normally write all actions into a logfile, named `LOG_PATH.<device>' (LOG_PATH is defined `policy.h'), e.g. `/var/log/mgetty.ttyxx', so you can easily see what's happening in your system. (If a fatal error occurs, the error message is also written to the console, and if that is not possible, mailed to `ADMIN'). The name of the log file can be changed in `policy.h'.

If mgetty is compiled with -DSYSLOG, auditing and error log messages will also go to syslog (if your system supports it).
