We are using version 4.0.1a. I am using 'service syslog-ng restart.' Below is the output I get from running that command: [root@server-name ~]# service syslog-ng restart WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, please update it to use the 4.1 format as some constructs might operate inefficiently; WARNING: global: the default value of log_fifo_size() has changed to 10000 in syslog-ng 4.1 to reflect log_iw_size() changes for tcp()/udp() window size changes; Error resolving user; user='root' Error resolving group; group='root' Restarting syslog-ng: Stopping syslog-ng: [ OK ] Starting syslog-ng: WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, please update it to use the 4.1 format as some constructs might operate inefficiently; WARNING: global: the default value of log_fifo_size() has changed to 10000 in syslog-ng 4.1 to reflect log_iw_size() changes for tcp()/udp() window size changes; [ OK ] -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Gergely Nagy Sent: Monday, July 02, 2012 9:45 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Error trying to restart service James McDonald <jmcdonald@LCE.com> writes:
After the weekend I came in to run the checks on our logs and noticed nothing new had been written over the weekend, or at least since mid-night last night. When I tried to restart the service, I got an error saying that the "user; user=root" and "group; group=root" could not be verified. I am stuck in a meeting at the moment and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on how to quickly resolve this, once I get back to my desk?
Which version of syslog-ng? How exactly did you try to restart it? Is everything all right with the init script? Is the message coming from syslog-ng, or the init script, or something else? -- |8] ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq
