Hello Balázs, I would like to migrate our servers from syslog to syslog-ng (we´re using SuSE 5.4 to 8.1, some clustered, mostly all Internet). Can you say about the next stable release or better: Should I use 1.4x now and then I can switch over to 1.5x - without greater reconfigurations? And another questions: source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); }; Is this source definition enough to leave klogd behind? Is it possible to use "pipe" in this manner for other logs - like them from proftpd? It´s for me not clear how to grep a log message in a logfile to a central log-server when the source isn´t at /proc or /dev. Will "pipe" as source driver look around the file and, if a new line appears, pipe this new lines? Regards, Detlef Pille NWN-Admin -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / X No HTML in / \ email & news
