Syslog writing to pipe

[arlesrp]

Hi,

I am newbie in Mac OS X, and I attemp to make that syslogd writes to a pipe. I edited /etc/syslog.conf and add this line

*.* |/var/log/syslog.pipe

mkfifo /var/log/syslog.pipe

and I restart the service:

sudo /sbin/service com.apple.syslogd restart

but nothing happens. When I try that syslog writes to a file this works without problems.

¿Could be this some trouble about security policies (permissions perhaps)?
¿Can Mac OS X syslogd write on a pipe file like Linux or BSD?

Any help would be appreciated.
