Re: [syslog-ng] kernel message logging

As a workaround, I tried using klogd with syslog-ng. I did turn off the syslog-ng source for /proc/kmsg. Now I don't see kernel messages on my console, but I don't get any kernel message logging either. Again, should this work? I don't see that there should be any special source definition in syslog-ng.conf for this to work.

In addition to Sandor's response, I'd like to add that this combination should work, however klogd uses its own syslog() implementation instead of using the one in libc, and it does not support unix-stream() /dev/log, only unix-dgram(). That's probably the reason why it does not work. -- Bazsi
