busybox syslogd does pretty much the right thing here - it tries to resolve the remote syslog target every so often, and you just don't get any logging until that works. I think that's OK for a remote logging setup. We did this in Ubuntu a while ago and my understanding is that Google is using it in their internal "Goobuntu" derivative: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/184126 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rootskel/+bug/184130 Turning on CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG makes (spookily) zero difference to the size of /bin/busybox, and increases busybox-udeb's size by 224 bytes. This is within my "just do it" threshold, so I'll go ahead. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
