Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: wishlist /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd restarts syslogd at the end of the script. This causes a daily log message, currently missed by logcheck: Jan 14 06:55:22 pyloric syslogd 1.4.1#16: restart (remote reception). I'm currently using this regex in ignore.server.d/local-syslogd: ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ syslogd 1\.4\.1#16: restart \(remote

Hi all! Is anybody here using rsyslog? I am looking for the right solution how to use rsyslog in CentOS 5 as the default logging daemon. We use it because of filtering using regular expressions. I switched from sysklogd to rsyslog simply using chkconfig --del syslog chkconfig --add rsyslog chkconfig rsyslog on service syslog stop service rsyslog start but this seems not to be

Hello! on my centos 4.4 i have enable selinux, but after this change syslogd can't no more run: # /etc/init.d/syslog restart Shutting down kernel logger: [ OK ] Shutting down system logger: [FAILED] Starting system logger: syslogd: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

Just updated our syslog server to 4.8-STABLE #0: Mon Apr 7 09:39:27 EDT 2003 In my rc.conf I have: # fgrep syslog /etc/rc.conf syslogd_program="/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng" syslogd_flags="" Syslog-ng starts up appropriately; but syslogd also tries to start now. Since the port's already in use, rc hangs during boot until I ctrl-c at that point. Perhaps something's not

I made a quick change to syslogd(8) so that it can drop root privileges immediately after starting up. It opens up the log sockets (UNIX and network domains) and writes the PID files before dropping privs. It drops privs before openning log files and writing to users. Therefore, you would need to modify your log file permissions appropriately. As for writing to users, ttys generally are writeable

Hello, It's a bit off topic, but I'm hoping someone has seen this before. I'm running a couple of headless boxes, one is 4.7 release, the other is 4.8 release. Both have the same issue with newsyslog when I've got the serial port enabled for console management. (-h in boot.conf and a getty running on cuaa0 after the boot process) Logrotate tries to send an HUP to syslogd, but

Greetings. I wrote a script that make remote backups with rsync. I have 2 main problems with it 1) I want that the destination directory (on the repository machine) recreate the backed up file path and it permission (I use -R here ) 2) Is there a way to "follow" all the links using -R and -a parameters..?? Currently I am using something like this. rsync -al --delete
