My PIX is logging fine to my messages file but I am unable to get it to log to my LOCAL# file. Do I need to reload the PIX to get this change to take effect? I have attached the piece of the config and the syslog.conf. I have also reset the syslog server. </P><P></P><P> </P><P></P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 07:42:15 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/unable-to-change-syslog-for-pix/m-p/397174#M555870 bberry 2020-02-21T07:42:15Z Re: Unable to change syslog for PIX https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/unable-to-change-syslog-for-pix/m-p/397175#M555871 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>There are eight logging facilities commonly used for syslog.
