[SR-Users] Using Sip-Router Logging & Register Problem Problem

Tue May 29 12:55:33 CEST 2012

Change the L_WARN to L_NOTICE that makes a difference when you've different
debug=x value.
and yes you are right about the  "-" in -/var/log/kamailio , it is really
required to prevent kamailio from waiting on syslog to print lines and then
continue.
