There are two options for where to send the logging output: (1) to a local file stored in RAM, (2) to a remote system. The local file option is very easy but because it is stored in RAM it will go away whenever the router reboots.
Enable remote logging:
nvram set log_ipaddr=<your syslogd ip> nvram commit
To run syslogd and klogd
vi /etc/inittab
add the following lines:
::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n ::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n
Tells syslogd to write the log file to /var/log/messages
/var is linked to /tmp but we may need to create /var/log at boot time
vi /etc/init.d/rcS
add the following line:
mkdir /var/log
