Hi. Currently, scsh's license is non-free. The author has promised to fix this, but seems to be incredibly busy with other issues, or just disinterested. Meanwhile, I'd like syslog-ng to be as free as possible; that includes not needing scsh to work. I recently made minor modifications to lsh to make it work without scsh (Ray Dassen will be integrating my changes in the lsh distribution shortly; I will provide the patch by email if requested), and as syslog-ng and libol share the same backend, those modifications were quite easy to port to libol. What follows is a diff file that modifies libol to use Guile instead of scsh. Hopefully you will integrate this into your distribution. Thank You. -- Havoc Consulting | unix, linux, perl, mail, www, internet, security consulting +358 50 5486010 | software development, unix administration, training
