On unix, there are syslog facilities provided by various tools, such as syslog or nsyslog.  They listen on port a network port as well, but on the local host, a named pipe is provided for simplicity.  This service logs all the messages sent to it to files in /var as configured by the syslogd.conf file in /etc.

For more information consult your unix man pages.

Thanks, yes I am familar with syslog on unix. So I enabled that feature in the CF admin page. Where should I be seeing logs under /var/log? Is CF sending everything over a named pipe? I assume there is setup I need to syslogd.conf unless CF logs to the /var/log/messasges file?

I usually debug that kind of stuff with a *.* in the syslog.conf file and put that into a file like /var/log/all.log.  Once I know which messages I want to keep I adjust accordingly.
