<p dir="auto">After upgrading a box from 1.2.3 to 2.0-RC3 (Sept 11 snapshot), I noticed that the remote syslogging doesn't log all of the same information as 1.2.3 did. My main concern is the PPTP server logs (so I can easily go back through the logs to see the progress of an older PPTP connection). I currently have remote syslog enabled, and I have the "Everything" option checked. I see many log entries that come in (mostly firewall rule matches), but I never see the full PPTP log entries when some connects to the VPN. The only entries I see are one line entries that say when someone logs in or logs out.</p>
<p dir="auto">Example:</p>
<p dir="auto">Sep 15 16:59:11 firewall-office2 root: login,pptpd0,192.168.5.161,SOMEUSER</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there something else I'm missing to get these log entries back? It sounds similar to this issue: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=19090.0</p>
<p dir="auto">When I check "PPTP VPN Events", I actually start getting IPsec logging entries (that weren't getting there before), but no PPTP entries. Here is what my /etc/syslog.conf looks like with "PPTP VPN Events" and "Everything" checked.</p>
