hi
since time to time all applications hung that write to syslog, and i cannot ^C ^Z ^\ them ;( i cannot su to root and kill syslog-ng too.
this has happened several times over several machines i've turned off dns lookups, since i guessed dns downtime affects this, but that did not help
the problem, when it's arisen, gets solved by some 6 hours
i guess the hung arises on high flood to syslog ...
source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };
you are probably running syslog-ng and klogd at the same time and both of them are reading /proc/kmsg. see the FAQ entry about this. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
