Because of the template feature I want to use syslog-ng 1.5 on a FreeBSD 4.2 and 4.3 platform. While testing 1.5.13 I found a problem when sending a hangup signal to syslog-ng. The restart message is shown but nothing follows until syslog-ng is stopped
On my NetBSD 1.5.x box, it's even worse - syslog-ng 1.5.13 dumps core when it gets HUP'd, due to this assertion: assertion "s->ref" failed: file "center.c", line 129 The core file helpfully has a message on the stack saying it couldn't open /dev/klog, device busy, and I confirmed with ktrace that syslog-ng is closing its other sources in my config file, but not the file("/dev/klog") source. When I take the file("/dev/klog") source out of the config, it doesn't crash anymore. A bug in the class for file() ? Balazs, let me know if you need any more diagnostics.
