5.1.6: Kernel Log Daemons

You may want to capture the debug messages that ftape produces with a suitable program that logs kernel messages to a file.

There exist various programs that perform this task. If you have got your Linux from a CD distribution, then you most probably don't need to worry about this. The kernel log files can often be found in the `/var/log/' or `/var/adm/' directories.

The package I am using for this purpose is `sysklogd-1.3.tar.gz'. It contains two programs, syslogd (normal `syslog' daemon) and klogd (the kernel log daemon). Please refer to the install guide of that package.
