I hope someone can help me out with this problem b.c. I'm butting my head against the wall...
I have installed and configured syslog-ng to my (preliminary) satisfaction and have been able to run it from a terminal without any problems. Syslog-ng creates logs and is generally happy. But when I run it, I get one line that says syslog-ng is changing the permissions on /dev/klog.
I am running syslog-ng on a Mac OS 10.3.9.
When I edit /etc/rc to remove the startup for syslog and enter the folowing:
/path/to/syslog-ng -f /path/to/syslog-ng.conf -p /path/to/syslog.pid
and reboot the machine spins and does not finish booting.
If I boot the machine verbosely I can see that it is hanging while trying to change the permissions for /dev/klog.
something like this source s_file { file("/dev/klog" perm(-1) owner(-1) group(-1)); }; -- Bazsi
