Hi,

I'm having UPnP troubles on my network... I can't even tell if the broadcast packets are being received by MiniUPnPd, as it doesn't log anything. (Or maybe it does and it's not getting there!?).

I can see the startup lines written to /var/log/syslog and the process is running, but it doesn't log any traffic.

I would really like to see one line written to the log with the IP/MAC address of the sender and some info about the UPnP packet/request, such as if it is UPnP/NET-PMP and the port requested to be opened, etc.

I would also like to see one line written to the log for each response that MiniUPnP replies back.

Please please can we have this, as it would really help me in building the ultimate router!

Many thanks,
Dave

verbose logging is available in debug mode. use -d switch on the command line.

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I can run it interactively with -d and I see the output as per below:

you could modify the syslog calls in miniupnpd to do whatever you want. Then configure your syslog.conf to send the logs to a specific file.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Assuming I take the approach you suggest, how do I turn on debugging permanently in the miniupnp.conf? It doesn't like 'debug'.

Cheers.
