I'm running Syslog-ng 1.4.3 as a loghost and on a workstation behind a gateway... both RedHat 6.1
hmmm problems i've found...
'#' seems to work not correctly... i've comment a few things in my syslog-ng.conf... and if the comment was not at the beginning of a line.. i got a parsing error..
syslog-ng accepted comments if they begin at the first position. Does this patch help? diff -u -r1.9.2.2 cfg-lex.l --- cfg-lex.l 2000/03/24 10:57:28 1.9.2.2 +++ cfg-lex.l 2000/05/26 08:36:08 @@ -136,7 +136,7 @@ %x qstring %% -^\#.*$ ; +\#.*$ ; \n { linenum++; } {white}+ ; \.\. { return DOTDOT; }
'#' seems not to comment out log, source, ... -statements.... if i comment out the destination and filter rule for ppp from the standart debian example syslog-ng.conf .... i got a parsing error... saying something like... ppp was an unresolve identifer...
I couldn't reproduce this problem. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
