No opendirectoryd log?

So I've decided to SEGREGATE my WiFi traffic from the rest of my network
using a VLAN. But I found that I was unable to connect to any of my
Windows fileshares with my Macbook Pro running MacOS Mojave 10.14.1. I
made sure that the machine was joined to my Active Directory domain. For
some reason, the laptop was not communicating with the domain
controller, despite all pings being received and responded to by the
domain controller. I unjoined from the domain and deleted the Macbook
from Active Directory.

Now I'm unable to join my domain because it cannot be found (despite
all pings being responded to from the domain controller and DNS queries
checking out). I figure that I need more information than just cryptic
error messages (5200), and so I try to enable logging by typing in the
Terminal:

odutil set log debug

The command completes with no output. When I go into Utilities ->
Console, I'm unable to find /var/log/opendirectoryd.log. I've restarted
the machine, and still nothing. I've confirmed that opendirectoryd is
running in Activity Monitor. Running the command using sudo apparently
does nothing as well.

Searching Google for documentation (has the log file path been changed
by Apple?), results in nothing useful, because Google is run by a street
shitter.

Any suggestions?

Correction: I'm running 10.14.2.

Try using the new “log” facility (“log stream”, or “log show”). Read “man
log” for more.
