Package: sysklogd Version: 1.4.1-18 I just appended a line containing "*.* /dev/tty8" to /etc/syslog.conf, to let anything also beeing reported on tty8.
After customizing /etc/syslog.conf, neither way to stop&start, restart or reload syslogd via /etc/init.d/sysklogd seems to work properly. /sbin/syslogd is running again, but no kernel messages are logged in any way. Logging from other processes like cron, backup-manager or sshd works. A complete system reboot helps, as does switching to runlevel 1 and then back to runlevel 2 via init. But neither option passed to /etc/init.d/sysklogd that involves stopping syslogd seems to get logging of kernel messages back up (dmesg still works, though). After some tinkering around I found out that after a "/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart", a manual "/etc/init.d/klogd restart" reenables loggig of kernel messages. Is this intended behaviour?
