Hi list! I have a strange fenomen to report: Sometimes when doing "kill -1" on a client that is sending logs with tcp to a server, the _server_ dies silently. Truss gives a *big* burst of output on the server (about 300 lines of time() calls), it looks like all the hardware devices (keyboard, mouse, stdin, disks, nw-cards) outputs a line into kern at the same time. I cannot reproduce the death on low-volume machines, only on our prime syslog server (100 hosts, about 5 messages/second) dies sometimes when a client with syslog-ng (with tcp enabled) does a "kill -1". Have anyone experienced anything like this? syslog-ng 1.4 CLIENT: SunOS unna4 5.6 Generic_105181-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); use_fqdn(yes);}; destination loghost { tcp("hostname.domain.tld" port(514)); }; log {.... destination(loghost); }; SERVER: SunOS syslog 5.7 Generic_106541-09 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20 options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); use_fqdn(yes); use_dns(yes);}; source tcplog { tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; destination tcpauto { file("/var/log/tcp/$HOST.$FACILITY"); }; log { source(tcplog); destination(tcpauto); }; /Joakim
