On RH I've never got a core dump....Do you know a method for generate a core dump file? Before all possible test, why you don't give me the your best installation procedure? However, in the attachment I send you a BT of FreeBSD: gdb syslog-ng -c syslog-ng.core GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Hi *, When I start the application with debug mode, apparently work normally, but I remember , in other session of debug , The debug output consist in a string, the following: "Garbage Collect..." do you think that is a real problem or a normal application job ?
it is normal that syslog-ng reports garbage collecting messages.
The red-hat version I use is stable,You said that,my problem perhaps is due to a bad installation because i've got the same result in another installation, Under Free-BSD. If you have an HOW-TO Installation,detailed please, send it to me by mail, or publish it on the mailing list. Another question...The last..I tried to "CHROOT" the application whit the following options :
-C <> or --chroot=<> --user=<> --group=<> in the cage space, but The program unrecognized the options.
it is implemented in 1.5.x
Now the application is working with debug mode and works normally..(since 15 hours)..
the problem should be fixed anyway. please do the following: ulimit -c unlimited (to let the program dump core) syslog-ng (dumps core) gdb syslog-ng -c core (reference to core file) gdb> bt (to get a backtrace where it aborted itself) thanks, -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
