Your reply was fine and perfectly valid. I didn't think you were highjacking the thread at all. If the patch could fix it, that's a perfectly OK topic to bring up. I was just thinking of some general non-Solaris-specific techniques. Your Solaris-specific advice was a valuable contribution. So I hope you'll continue to keep reading and keep replying, and not be afraid to add to threads. Regards, Matthew. On Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 11:36:00AM -0400, Fred Connolly wrote:
My apologies to Matthew and Martin. I did not intend to jump in and take over the thread. I just wanted to make Matthew and other Solaris 10 syslog-ng users aware that there is a recent kernel patch to address UDP issues. The patch number is 144488-11. It is a Kernel patch so you might as well apply the latest Recommended Patches, as it is included in that patch set.
I will take Matthew's good suggestion and check out the loggen utility. I was not aware that it existed and am going to look for the documentation as soon as I hit Send.
I will also open up a separate thread to avoid any confusion:))
