syslogd - unable to log ?

Hi,

I wanted to log some authentication information, so I added following line to /etc/syslog.conf:
auth.info /home/vilius/dir1/eeerrr.log
After that I refreshed syslogd subsystem:
refresh -s syslogd

To check my logging I made few unsuccessfull attempts to login as root using ssh and telnet. After that I checked dir1 - nothing no single file!
What am I doing wrong ?

thanks
Vilius

You have to create the file else it will not log
> /home/vilius/dir1/eeerrr.log
refresh -s syslogd
