syslog-ng 1.0.x works stable as long as the config file is ok, but the parser is not the best one (it is from the original nsyslogd package, which syslog-ng was based on)
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get syslog-ng to work correctly. It starts fine and then 20 minutes later (the apparent default) logs a mark (three times, to the screen as well as logfile) and then hangs. Consistently. I have tried this under Linux 2.2.1 and 2.2.5 and -- with a little minor editing -- HP-UX 11.00. Any idea what my problem is? Just as a note, it runs under HP-UX and will handle remote logs correctly, but the system's syslog() function seems to append a couple hundred bytes of binary data to the end when writing to the named pipe /dev/log; I have no idea what this data is for. -- Scott Dellinger Systems Administrator, JMU Technical Services dellinsd@jmu.edu
