I got this to work in the server:

void QFApplication::fromAdmin( const FIX::Message& m, const  
FIX::SessionID& id) t
{
    Username u;    m.getField(u);
    Password pwd;   m.getField(pwd);

    cout <<  "fromAdmin: " << id << endl;
    cout <<  "\tUsername: " << u.getString() << ", Password: " <<  
pwd.getString()
}

and this in the client:

void QFApplication::fromAdmin( const FIX::Message& m, const  
FIX::SessionID& id) t
{
    Username u;    m.getField(u);
    Password pwd;   m.getField(pwd);

    cout <<  "fromAdmin: " << id << endl;
    cout <<  "\tUsername: " << u.getString() << ", Password: " <<  
pwd.getString()
}

I thought I tried this, but whatever … it works now.  If someone has  
the time explain how the Logon variant of MessageCracker::onMessage  
works, I would be interested to know, but I have the logons working, so

The ScreenLogFactory is set up and I also tried to enable server side  
postgreSQL logging in the config file, which is not working for me.

[DEFAULT]
ConnectionType=acceptor
SocketAcceptPort=8003
SocketReuseAddress=Y
StartTime=00:00:00
EndTime=00:00:00
PostgreSQLStoreDatabase=log
PostgreSQLStoreUser=vpredoehl

and file logging on the client side:

[DEFAULT]
ConnectionType=initiator
HeartBtInt=30
ReconnectInterval=1
FileStorePath=store
FileLogPath=log
StartTime=00:00:00
EndTime=00:00:00
UseDataDictionary=N
SocketConnectHost=localhost

There is apparently another hoop to jump through to get it to log,  
but I don't know what it is and I would like to know that too.
