I've installed syslog-ng on the AIX box and I thought I had pretty much replaced AIX's syslogd with it. However, it appears as though I'm missing a lot. Cron is logging to mail, for instance, and with the original syslogd it also logged to it. Syslog-ng is running and logging network messages, its own messages and that's it. So, the question, what more do I need to look at?

The INSTALL file in the source tarball contains information on various operating systems on how to configure local message. You are probably missing some kind of source definition for local messages. -- Bazsi

I checked that out, and don't recall seeing an item for AIX (HP-UX and Solaris I do remember seeing)... I'll check again.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but this is currently in that file: AIX (unknown revision) ---------------------- AIX does support STREAMS, but its log transport doesn't use it. As it seems /dev/log is a simple SOCK_DGRAM type unix socket, so it works using: source stdlog { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); }; I would appreciate if you could confirm this, so I could update the file to be less vague. -- Bazsi
