[Tutor] Q2: logging not working as expected

[jay]

Dave,

Fix your typo here

Should be hkd1 I believe, otherwise the config file is rejected by the
logging module.

LOG_USER is not a defined priority by default in syslog, unless it is
something you have custom defined.  I would suggest using one of the
LOCAL[1-6] levels instead.

Finally, call using the qualified name 'hkd1'.


It works for me after that...

Although I agree with others, simplification does wonders for debugging.
