Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: inetutils-syslogd
Distribution: Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy badger)
One of the logfiles on my system reached the 2GB limit. When syslogd
received a message destined to that log file, it was unable to write the
message, and exit()ed.
In my opinion, syslogd should not have exited. The reason is that other
logfiles (which receive different sets of messages) were still
writeable.
And at the very least, syslogd should have attempted to write a high
priority error message to the appropriate log file before exiting.
