syslog-ng 2.1.3 has been released
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 2.1.3 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Nov 26, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.1.3) has been released. For latest fixes in the 2.1.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: NOTE: this release fixes a security problem CVE-2008-5110, see the changelog below for more details. Bugfixes: * Fixed chroot() support to change into the chrooted directory after chroot is invoked. This fixes the security problem CVE-2008-5110. NOTE: this vulnerability is not exploitable on its own, it only makes breaking out of the jail somewhat easier. Please also NOTE that, even with this patch applied, it is still possible to break out of the jail if syslog-ng is running as root. * Fixed the code to resolve usernames, 2.1.2 had a regression which caused all username lookups to fail.

Hi, Syslog-NG will not install, no matter what version (tried 5 different ones 2.0.x, including the latest 2.1.3). All the installs end with the exact same error (pasted below) pointing to a missing "eventlog" (not sure whether it's called evtlog or eventlog, but same thing). I'm running RHEL 5. I've installed eventlog N times, including once with an RPM found at www.pbone.net . I see eventlog, it's there, but not where the syslog-ng script wants it. Seems a LOT of people are having this same issue. I looked through the lists and tried several solutions to no avail. Could a definitive fix be done to the eventlog installation script, and/or the syslog-ng installation script? Is there a known fix? Thanks.

not a lot of people having this issue... just check if evtlog is installed by doing: pkg-config --list-all | grep event if it's not installed, you will need to install it. On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 9:06 AM, Paul Jasa <pjasa@univision.net> wrote:

Thanks. The issue had to do with the pkg-config search path (defined by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which was missing on my system). In case it helps anyone else, it was fixed by adding/editing the following lines on the .bash_profile file in my home directory as follows: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/l ocal/sbin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ export PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH ________________________________ From: nexact [mailto:nexact@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 9:11 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Cc: Paul Jasa Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Eventlog NOT FOUND despite installation Importance: High not a lot of people having this issue... just check if evtlog is installed by doing: pkg-config --list-all | grep event if it's not installed, you will need to install it.

I had the same problem. You have to update your PKG_CONFIG_PATH with eventlog libraries path. -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Paul Jasa Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 9:06 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: [syslog-ng] Eventlog NOT FOUND despite installation Hi, Syslog-NG will not install, no matter what version (tried 5 different ones 2.0.x, including the latest 2.1.3).
