Hallo
I have replaced the original syslog with syslog-ng.
everything works fine. the only problem I have is that
syslog-ng uses between 50% and 70% of the cpu.
I think that it is a configuration problem because the
old syslogd never uses more than 10% of the cpu.
thank you for your help
stefan
here are my configuration files:
traditional syslog:
# /etc/syslog.conf syslog configuration
file.###################################
# output to local file "messages" for automatic log file analysis
*.err;auth,daemon,mark,kern.debug;mail,user.notice /var/adm/messages

*.emerg *
#print time on console every 20mins (not needed if you have contool)
#mark.* /dev/console
