Hello List, there seems to be a problem with the command line parameter list of syslog-ng (tested for ver. 3.0.2): from what I understand from the source code command line parameters are defined in gprocess.c (g_process_option_entries[]) and in main.c (syslogng_options[]). Only the latter are described by syslog-ng --help (but both of them are usable). Furthermore, the short version of '--chroot' should be '-C', according to the syslog-ng administration guide (The syslog-ng manual pages -> syslog-ng), but '-C' is defined in gprocess.c as "Set default capability set". According to gprocess.c the correct short version for '--chroot' would be '-R', but it collides and is overridden by the short version of the same name from main.c (there it means "persist-file"). IMHO this is a security relevant bug: one might think syslog-ng is running chrooted while it actually has root powers. PS: This also applies to the git-versions syslog-ng-3.0.git and syslog-ng-3.1.git. -- Best Regards, Leonid Chaichenets.
