There is still no log, Why ? Any one can point out what is the error? Seems like the router log is not coming in at all :(
Like in a lot of places, try it with no restrictions, then tighten it to get what you want/need. This of course is the case if you _haven't_ restarted syslogd ("service syslogd restart").
Try something like this first, to prove the concept, then tune it down:
*.* / /var/log/routerlog
If you restart it and it starts filling up, then start chosing your keywords. I don't know any off the top of my head, but they're in the kernel documentation, surely.
Just don't forget the restart.
