syslog-ng 1.3.4
by Balazs Scheidler 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Hi, I've released syslog-ng 1.3.4, fixing the missing afsocket.h.x bug, and adding support for a max-connections option for connection-oriented protocol drivers (e.g. unix-stream & unix-dgram) This is needed to fix the recently DoS attack against syslogd discussed on bugtraq. Default limit of connections: unix-stream: 100 tcp: 10 To change this, you'll need your change your source statement: source src { unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(10)); }; -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

syslog-ng 1.3.3
by Balazs Scheidler 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Hi, I've released syslog-ng 1.3.3, which completes the afsocket reorganization I introduced in 1.3.2. It should be quite stable now. This fixes a problem with some programs dropping messages (for instance sendmail). It was caused by the fact the syslog-ng dropped all af_unix connections when sent a HUP signal. A new option was added to unix-stream and tcp: keep-alive, which is on by default for unix-stream drivers. Another bug was fixed in the $DAY macro expansion. There was a discussion recently on bugtraq about a syslogd DoS attack. The problem is fixed in distributions by switching to unix-dgram sockets from unix-stream. syslog-ng supports this switch by using another driver, so you only need to change your configuration. An alternative solution will be provided to limit the number of simultaneous connections kept open. If this limit is reached, syslog-ng will be able to send a warning message, and messages will not be simply dropped. IMHO this solution is much better, than reverting to sock_dgram. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

by Balazs Scheidler 18 Nov '99

18 Nov '99

Hi, I've released a new development version to the usual location. It fixes some macro expansion bugs, and some parts have been merged from 1.2.1. It contains support the DEFAULT log statement, which is used on every message, which matches no filters. Here's how you can use it: log { source(src); filter(DEFAULT); destination(dst); }; Only one default statement can be in a configuration. So, download, compile, test and have fun: http://www.balabit.hu/products/syslog-ng -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

default log statement
by Balazs Scheidler 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hi, There was a feature request to syslog-ng, so that you could add default log statement, where all non filtered traffic goes. My question is that how this should look like in the configuration file? Alternatives: 1) log(DEFAULT) { source(src); destination(dst); }; 2) log { source(src); filter(DEFAULT); destination(dst); }; 3) log { source(src); default; destination(dst); }; 1) would add yet another complication to the grammar, 2) looks ok, 3) is not consistent with the function() like option invocation. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

development version
by Balazs Scheidler 17 Nov '99

17 Nov '99

Hi, I've released the first development version (1.3.0) of syslog-ng to the usual places. It supports macro expansion in destination file names, and a new filter function which calls another filter rule. A new version of libol is needed (0.2.6) to compile this version. To use the new features, use the following config file snippets: 1) calling another rule filter f_mail { facility(mail); }; filter f_ftp { facility(ftp); }; filter f_default { not filter(f_mail); not filter(f_ftp); }; 2) macro expansion in destination filenames destination all { file("/var/log/$HOST.$YEAR$MONTH"); }; -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

syslog-ng 1.2.1 & solaris support
by Balazs Scheidler 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

Hi, I'm pleased to announce that finally syslog-ng supports Solaris natively. I was lent a Solaris CD, and after installing it I could find the problem in a half an hour. (installation, +downloading the required GNU packages took a day! and I HATE vi :) You can find the updated packages at http://www.balabit.hu/products/syslog-ng along with their PGP signatures. I'm thinking about releasing a development snapshot 1.3.0, which introduces the macro support I was promising earlier. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

genh0
by Julian Gordon 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

It is mentioned in the documents: "syslog-ng supports keeping of hash values along side the actual log file. To initialize hashing for the first time, you will need to use the program genh0, which gener- ates the initial hash for a log file based on random salt and the passphrase you enter. " However, the distribution does not some to include this program, nor is this program available on the source site. What's up? Julian

qmail.
by Jacob Zehnder 13 Nov '99

ahoy, i recently switched to syslog-ng and am loving it, though im having one small problem. i use qmail and am logging it like this destination qmail { file ("/var/log/maillog" compress(on) sync(0) log_fifo_size(10)); }; it logs fine to /var/log/maillog.. only problem is it also wont stop logging to /var/log/messages. i was wondering if theres a way i can restrict qmails access to /var/log/messages in syslog-ng without having to do some knarly perm changes :> thank yah --jacob * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jacob Zehnder * * * * * * * * * Grill Master * * * * * * * * "The dude abides." * * * * 'The Big Lebowski' * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Do you think door > files will come to IRIX and DU before syslog-ng does? Is there anything > we can do? Sorry for not answering this message so long, but I'm a bit overloaded nowadays. So the problem might be that you have a door.h available somewhere in your include directory, and this makes the configure script think, that you have doors. What you could do temporarily (until I fix this problem): * Rename /usr/include/door.h to something else, and rerun configure, but first delete the config.cache file in the syslog-ng directory. * Edit the file config.h after the configure script has been run, and change the line #define HAVE_DOOR_H 1 to #undef HAVE_DOOR_H and rebuild. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

release plans
by Balazs Scheidler 27 Oct '99

27 Oct '99

Hi, I'm planning to release version 1.2.0 of syslog-ng, and start a fork a new development cycle. I was waiting so long to fix Solaris support, but decided to release 1.2.0 anyhow, Solaris support will be fixed later. The recently added macro support will be released as 1.3.0, and development will continue on that branch. So 1.2.0 as I release it now should work without problems on *BSD and Linux, and using a workaround on Solaris. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

destination filename macro expansion
by Balazs Scheidler 26 Oct '99

26 Oct '99

Hi, I've worked a bit on syslog-ng and implemented macro expansion on destination filenames. It's not complete yet, but anyone interested may play with it a bit. Here's an example how to use this: ----------------------------------------------------- options { long_hostnames(on); time_reopen(2); }; source src { unix-stream("log1"); internal(); }; destination all { file("/var/log/$HOST.log"); }; log { source(src); destination(all); }; ------------------------------------------------------ You'll need to grab the source from the CVS to use this. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

So your source statement should look like: source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log"); internal(); }; This is described in the INSTALL file: BSDi: ----- BSD is similar to Linux (or vice-versa Linux is similar to BSD, but this is another issue), so BSD has also a unix socket for log communication, but it's of type SOCK_DGRAM, and it is located at /var/run/log.

You can find a demo configuration file which includes all possible parameters syslog-ng parses (doc/syslog-ng.conf.demo), even those syslog-ng doesn't implement yet (compress, encrypt etc. come to mind), and another one meant as a default configuration file: doc/syslog-ng.conf.sample -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt

Redhat init script?
by David Robinson 22 Oct '99

22 Oct '99

Has anyone made up a standard syslog-ng start/stop init script for Redhat 6? I noticed there was a debian one.. I'm currently just starting syslog-ng from the rc.local script. If not I'll create one but I don't want to do it if someone has already done it. Regards, David Robinson.

building syslog-ng on irix-6.5, door functions
by Bevan Broun 21 Oct '99

Hi Im trying to build syslog-ng on an SGI Indy running irix-6.5 but the build fails with: ld32: ERROR 33: Unresolved text symbol "door_revoke" -- 1st referenced by afstreams.o. Use linker option -v to see when and which objects, archives and dsos are loaded. I dont think irix has any of the door functions.
