Enable Webmin System Logs module with Debian Lenny's sysklogd

So assuming your System Logs module isnt being used like mine and is sitting in Webmin>Un-used Modules>System Logs this is what you do.

click it, then choose Module Config. then choose "System Configuration" from the drop down

the settings you need to change are:

Path to syslog config file Syslog PID file Path to syslog server Command to start syslog Command to apply changes Command to re-open log files

i found these settings in the boot-up and shutdown entry for sysklogd 's details/config, yours may be different so check:

/etc/syslog.conf /var/run/syslogd.pid /sbin/syslogd /etc/init.d/sysklogd start /etc/init.d/sysklogd reload /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart ; /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart

choose save then "Refresh System Modules" in the left column near logout.

it will now be in Webmin>System
