Re: [syslog-ng] io.c: do_read: read( ) failed (errno 1), Operation not permitted

I installed syslog-ng version 1.6.9 on Fedora Core 4 in a chroot jail and when starting it, I receive the following message "io.c: do_read: read( ) failed (errno 1), Operation not permitted". I believe this message is the result of syslog-ng not being able to read from /proc/kmsg. However, I'm a newbie to Linux and Sylog-ng! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Remove the /proc/kmsg from your configuration, it's unneeded when a syslog daemon running outside of the chroot already reads the kernel messages. If this doesn't help, show your syslog-ng.conf file. -- Sandor Geller wildy@balabit.hu
