'routed' uses a function called traceon() to log data to a log file. The
plausible place for the log file is /var/log/routed/some-log-file.  It
appears that the base name of the file is defined in

pathnames.h:#define _PATH_LOGDIR    "/var/log/routed/"

and the actual file name is created from an unflagged command line
argument.

However, the code in trace.c function traceon() is doing a  string compare
(strncmp) and failing to generate a useful file name so no log data is
emitted.

I commented out the compare and scabbed  in a (very ugly) temporary fix as
I am a bit short of time these days (who's not?):

	/*
	 * Trace file requests could come from anywhere...
	 */
        
/* 	if (strncmp(file, logdir, strlen(logdir)) || strstr(file, "/../")) */
/*	{  */
/*		syslog(LOG_ERR, "Cannot log to %s: not under %s\n",  */
/*		       file, logdir); */
/*		return; */
/*	} */
           

/*	fd = open(file, O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NDELAY, 0600); */


	fd = open("/var/log/routed/stuff.log",
O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NDELAY, 0600); 
	

and I get the routed messages in /var/log/routed/stuff.log.

I worked from the SRPM that came w/ the RH 6.2 distribution and applied the
fork and jdbf patches first....
