libol version problems
by Todd Snyder 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Ok ... I'm really confused ... I just downloaded the most recent version of syslog-ng, and libol (0.3.1). I got 'required version not found'. so I went down to 2.9 - still the same thing. see output below: checking libol version >= 0.2.23... no configure: error: Required libol version not found [root@coupland syslog-ng-1.4.14]# libol-config --version 0.2.9 what do I do ... I need to get this up like TODAY, and I can't get it compiled. I did a quick search of the archives and didn't find anything, so I apologize if this is a common question. TIA Todd.

syslog-ng and irix
by gkuchta＠astro.umn.edu 05 Dec '01

Hi, I was wondering if syslog-ng does, or at any point will, support taking logs from non syslog-ng daemons. I've poked around the documentation and the mailing list, but I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. Our department has a few old irix machines that graduate students run Fortran code on, and we'd like to forward logs from these machines to our new syslog-ng server. I played with the idea for about 30minutes earlier today, but couldn't get anything going. Is this possible? Will it be? Much thanks, Garrett -- Garrett Kuchta [gkuchta[at]astro.umn.edu] Assistant System Manager Dept. of Astronomy University of Minnesota, Twin Cities http://www.astro.umn.edu/~gkuchta

Sample Redhat configuration?
by Bradley Hartin 05 Dec '01

Can anyone provide some sample configurations for Redhat 7.1 systems, both as a central log server and it's clients? I'm about to roll out about 130 linux boxes pretty soon, all vpn clients with various other functions, and would like to maintain a central log repository. syslog-ng looks like my best bet (I'd rather have tcp than udp, just to avoid the possibility of lost logs in case of flaky lines). Unfortunately, I don't have the time for a lot of experimentation. Thanks, -- Bradley Hartin - bhartin(a)straus-frank.com Network and Communications Administrator Straus-Frank Company

secure remote logging
by Waldemar Brodkorb 03 Dec '01

Hi *, is there a possibility to do $subject? Somebody said encryption is integrated in 1.5.13, but I can't figure it out. Nothing about this in the manpage or in the html documentation. syslog-ng works quite well, but I want to secure the network communication between the instances a little bit. Is there a solution with ssh tunnel described anywhere? TIA bye Waldemar -- Are your questions smart enough? http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
