re[2]: [htdig] Logging all visitor searches

[Peter C. <cho...@mi...>]

i was looking at the syslog.conf and the logger of htdig.  i just want to 
make sure that i am doing the right thing to log users search words.

i need to set the logger option to true in the htdig.conf file and then 
modify the syslog.conf so that the syslogd will log the search words to a 
log file.

what i am not 100% sure is how to edit the syslog.conf file.  i looked at 
the file itself and from what i gather i should put the name of the program 
and than the location of where i want to log the information.  so, 
something like:

htdig.*                 /var/log/htdig.log

is this correct?

i am doing this on a freebsd machine.
