19. How do I enable syslog inside the chroot jail?

    If you want to have logging in programs from within your chroot jail you
    have to tell syslogd to listen in the chroot jail also. With most versions
    of syslogd you can add '-a /var/lib/cvsd/dev/log' to your syslogd
    invocation (of cource replace /var/lib/cvsd with the location of your
    chroot jail).
    On debian systems you should edit /etc/init.d/sysklogd and modify the
    'SYSLOGD=""' line to read:
    SYSLOGD="-a /var/lib/cvsd/dev/log"
    You may have to check the manual page fof syslogd on your system though.
