I'd like to send debug messages to the asl system log on Leopard
without using sudo, but haven't had any success.
I compiled and ran a test program (see below).

Here's a small test program that will also send a "test" message
with the "raduis" facility:
#include <asl.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
aslmsg m = asl_new(ASL_TYPE_MSG);
asl_set_filter(NULL, ASL_FILTER_MASK_UPTO(ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG));
asl_set(m, "Facility", "radius");
asl_log(NULL, m, ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG, "test");
return(0);
}
After which I tried to read the message back from the log
% syslog -k Facility radius
% syslog -k Level 7
but didn't find anything. I checked to make sure the the master
filter was off, and it was.
% syslog -c 0
Master filter mask: Off
So I compiled and ran a second test program (see below).
If you read through the man page, you'd also find that the
following code *should* work:
aslclient a = asl_open(NULL, "radius", 0);
asl_set_filter(NULL, ASL_FILTER_MASK_UPTO(ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG));
asl_log(a, NULL, ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG, "test");
asl_close(a);
return(0);
But due to a bug in asl_open(), it doesn't. Sorry about that! The
bug will be fixed in 10.5 (Leopard).
That didn't work either. I searched the lists for 'ASL_LEVEL_DEBUG'
but didn't come up with anything beyond the two tests above. Any
ideas why neither of those two programs work on 10.5.2? Any ideas
what would?
