Hi, Chee Chew!
I am going to use syslog-ng for receiving remote host syslog. What am I going to do with the existing syslogd? If I turn off syslogd, will I still able to capture all internal system syslog? You can get all local messages, but you have to configure syslog-ng properly. On our Linux system this does the trick for all local messages: source localhost { internal (); unix-dgram("/dev/log"); udp(ip(127.0.0.1) port (514)); file ("/proc/kmsg"); }; Now I want to add a question myself: Is it the usual procedure that I have to add the last line ('file ("/proc/kmsg")') in order to have the kernel messages processed (I thought that klogd would forward them to /dev/log). Thanx for any explanation.
in hope to have helped you bye.baltasar ::: B A L T A S A R C E V C mailto: baltasar@cevc-topp.de Tel.: +49 89 99020515
