I've downloaded latest syslog-ng and installed it on my box (Mandrake 9.0). # logger -p kern.info "test kern.info 1"
Then I checked kern.log and saw nothing. The "test kern.info 1" was in user.log !
Can someone explain me this strange behaviour ?
logger refuses to log with facility == LOG_KERN
I usually send logs with netcat (UDP or TCP, depending on what's listening in that particular syslog-ng instance) over the network to simulate kernel messages. You could even temporarily open up a socket on 127.0.0.1 for this purpose during investigation if you don't already have a network source. -- Nate Campi http://www.campin.net
