LinuxQuestions.org - pppd logging to /var/log/ppp.log problem

I am trying to make pppd log to /var/log/ppp.log thorugh syslog:

Here is info:

Code:

root@gateway:/etc/ppp# tail /var/log/messages

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway chat[2019]: ^M

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway chat[2019]: +ER: LAPM^M

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway chat[2019]: ^M

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway chat[2019]: CONNECT

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway chat[2019]:  -- got it

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway pppd[2017]: Serial connection established.

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway pppd[2017]: Using interface ppp0

Jan  9 11:40:15 gateway pppd[2017]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem

Jan  9 11:40:20 gateway pppd[2017]: local  IP address xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Jan  9 11:40:20 gateway pppd[2017]: remote IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx



root@gateway:/etc/ppp# tail /var/log/ppp.log



root@gateway:/etc/ppp# cat /etc/syslog.conf

# /etc/syslog.conf

# For info about the format of this file, see "man syslog.conf"

# and /usr/doc/sysklogd/README.linux.  Note the '-' prefixing some

# of these entries;  this omits syncing the file after every logging.

# In the event of a crash, some log information might be lost, so

# if this is a concern to you then you might want to remove the '-'.

# Be advised this will cause a performation loss if you're using

# programs that do heavy logging.



# Uncomment this to see kernel messages on the console.

#kern.*                                                /dev/console



# Log anything 'info' or higher, but lower than 'warn'.

# Exclude authpriv, cron, mail, and news.  These are logged elsewhere.

*.info;*.!warn;\

        authpriv.none;cron.none;mail.none;news.none;pppd.log    -/var/log/messages



# Log anything 'warn' or higher.

# Exclude authpriv, cron, mail, and news.  These are logged elsewhere.

*.warn;\

        authpriv.none;cron.none;mail.none;news.none;pppd.none  -/var/log/syslog



# Debugging information is logged here.

*.=debug                                                -/var/log/debug



# Private authentication message logging:

authpriv.*                                              -/var/log/secure



# Cron related logs:

cron.*                                                  -/var/log/cron



# Mail related logs:

mail.*                                                  -/var/log/maillog



# Emergency level messages go to all users:

*.emerg                                                *



# This log is for news and uucp errors:

uucp,news.crit                                          -/var/log/spooler

# Uncomment these if you'd like INN to keep logs on everything.

# You won't need this if you don't run INN (the InterNetNews daemon).

#news.=crit                                    -/var/log/news/news.crit

#news.=err                                      -/var/log/news/news.err

#news.notice                                    -/var/log/news/news.notice



pppd.*                                          -/var/log/ppp.log

This seems like it should work from the syslog.conf man page. What am I donig wrong? Thanks

---- Update ----
I have now added pppd.none to the files above. Now, no messages show up in /var/log/messages, but no messages are showing up in /var/log/ppp.log either? Frustrating...
