      I'm using the latest versions: pfsense 2.3.3_1 with tinc package 1.0.28_3

      tinc should log to /var/log/tinc.log, but it remains empty. Therefore the tinc status page (Status->Tinc VPN) remains empty, because it reads from the log file.

      I believe the command to start tincd should include```
      --logfile=/var/log/tinc.log

      
Would also be nice to be able configure the log level (I prefer level 2).

If anyone can confirm this, I'd be happy to fix it and make a pull request.

        No, it fails because syslogd isn't running.

        See https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7256

        We're already working on it.
