Hi, I'm trying to log emergency messages to all users: destination d7 { usertty ("*"); }; The problem is this blocks on a 'bad' tty (/dev/pts/1). Using 'who' this tty shows a logged in user, but the user is not logged in anymore (since a week). In afuser.c in do_handle_afuser_log the function write_raw_with_poll() from io.c (of libol) is used and that uses poll (&pfd, 1, -1); The -1 indicates no timeout and syslog-ng blocks on this call. Is there a solution to this problem, other than not using usertty("*")? I am using syslog-ng 1.4.17 with libol 0.2.23 Thanks, Esteban Essed _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
