Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded syslog-ng on our central log server from 2.0.5 to 3.0.4 . The OS is solaris 10. Prior to the upgrade I was able to run syslog-ng as a non-root user with the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -u syslogng -g syslogng -p /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.pid
After the upgrade I get the following error using the same command:
Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Permission denied (13)'
Are you sure you were running syslog-ng in the past with *exactly the same* configuration? Traditionally on unix systems ports 1-1023 are reserved so non-privileged processes can't bind to these. BTW is the port unused? Regards, Sandor
