VPN server stopped working, log file format changed
My VPN server on Snow Leopard Server stopped working. My only clue so far is that on Nov 21 my logfile format changed from having the date in
DOW MMM DAY HH:MM:SS YYYY format to
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format when a user disconnected on Nov 21, but the service seemed to have kept running right through Nov 24.
Now when I try to connect I get nothing in the log file at all.
Not sure if the change in logfile format is related at all to the service not working, but the timing looks right.
Where are the VPN service settings files? The plist file hasn't changed in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.RemoteAccessServers.plist , there must be another file that controls the log format.
Is the vpn daemon still /usr/sbin/vpnd ? Was there an update recently that might have affected things?
Here is a cut-n-paste from my log file:
