debugging tux

Ok, I'm baffled. What's the secret voodoo needed to get tux to dump
debugging output to syslog? It's worked for me exactly once, and then
never again, and I can't for the life of me puzzle out why. I've rolled
the kernel with CONFIG_TUX_DEBUG, and the userspace stuff with TUX_DEBUG,
and set the [T]Dprintk's to 1 in /proc. No love. I have no doubt I'm
overlooking something painfully obvious, and will be happy to eat humble
pie just as soon as this starts working. =)

For the record, I'm running linux 2.4.19 with the 2.4.18 tux kernel patch
shoehorned in, and userspace utils v2.2.7, all rolled with gcc-2.95.4.

Thanks,
