Could you please explain. It works as you say with ntpd chrooted on my box. But, after 'chroot /chroot /sbin/ntpd' the running ntpd only see what's under '/chroot/'. How it works when ntpd attempt to log something ? (to /chroot/dev/log)
here's the scenario: - syslog-ng chrooted, using /dev/log _inside_ the jail - applications outside cannot send log messages, as their /dev/log is not opened (as syslog-ng only opened /dev/log _in_ the jail) - symlink in the outside system from /dev/log to /chroot/syslog-ng/dev/log any program not within any jail can happily send log messages, and you can reload syslog-ng. it might not be completely applicable to your case, but might be useful if somebody wants to run syslog-ng in a jail, and still be able to send log messages from the system. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
