>Description:
/var/log/aculog is missing.
>How-To-Repeat:
add an accoutn to group dialer. edit /etc/remote to point
at a known tty and make that tty owned by uucp.dialer. Now
tip(1) to the tty and what tip complain about /var/log/aculog
missing. Thus no logs are made of dialout activity.
>Fix:
Make sure /var/log/aculog exists with the proper
permissions such as in this patch:
