While trying to parse my logs for some pppd information about connect times and such I noticed a really wierd problem. When software uses an openlog to open a 'channel' to the log, and when syslog-ng is HUP'ed (during my logrotate script) the process that was writing to the log no longer puts any information into the log. This bug has been fixed in the unstable tree but I would rather not use the unstable tree on my server, especially for something as important as system logging. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a patch for it? I have just begun hacking on syslog-ng so this patch is a little out of my league until I figure out how the code works, but I would like to get syslog-ng up and running as soon as possible. If you need more information please let me know and I will be happy to provide you with it.
