LSM skeleton module printk message not showing in dmesg

[toqeer ali]

Hi Mosta,

I am using klogd and its running and also at boot time. I also search my
printk message in these files  /var/log/kern.log /var/log/boot,
/var/log/dmesg, /var/log/messages, but no luck, anything else i need to look
for?

Regards
