Hi,
I am faced with a rather strange issue with syslog 3.0.7 version. The daemon does not start at all when I try to run it in the central server mode. I though do not get any error messages . But, I noticed that after a reboot of the machine. Everything works fine. Can someone please suggest of any possible areas to check.
Thanks, Rakesh Hi,
We need more information about this. What is your syslog-ng configuration? If your syslog-ng listens on 514/tcp port (the default server port for tcp transport): - Did you disabled the rsh service in /etc/inetd.conf ? By default, it's the service that listens on 514/tcp. - probably if you configured your system to start syslog-ng before starting inetd, syslog-ng acquired the port before inetd could start. Otherwise, did you tried to run syslog-ng with the -Fedv arguments added from the command line? It won't go to the background, but will display all startup messages it may or may not be able/not configured to write out. Regards, -- Pal Tamas/Folti folti@balabit.hu
