Hello,
I've a problem with syslogd deamon in 4.7 and 4.8.
When I setup syslogd to remote log some message in /etc/syslog.conf, it
doesn't remote log after the boot. Processus is up and running
(confirmed by ps command).
#ps
...
root 4386 0.0 0.0 480 796 ?? Ss 10:11AM 0:00.01
syslogd: [priv] (syslogd)
_syslogd 26205 0.0 0.0 484 768 ?? S 10:11AM 0:00.01
syslogd -a /var/www/dev/log -a /var/empty/dev/log
...
I've to kill and restart syslogd with exactly the same parameters than
shown by ps aux to get it work ...
#pkill syslogd
#syslogd -a /var/www/dev/log -a /var/empty/dev/log
I tried some change in rc.conf ie:
syslogd_flags=""
syslogd_flags="-f /etc/syslog.conf"
syslogd_flags="-u" # Unsecure mode ...
syslogd_flags="-u -f /etc/syslog.conf" # Unsecure mode ...
But nothing worked, i finally decided to go back to the stardard startup
line:
syslogd_flags=
my sysctl.conf looks like this:
*.notice;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,user.none @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
kern.debug;syslog,user.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
auth.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
authpriv.debug @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
cron.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
daemon.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
ftp.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
lpr.debug @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
mail.info @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT
Since the system logger start just after the network, it could be the PR
#4044 striking again ... But it has been solved years ago ...
Any idea ? Maybe, it's really a easy stuff I forgot... Hope somebody can
help, we don't reboot very often but we have to remind it everytime...
F.URBAN :)
