ok, thanks! Another dumb question : dows this line replace the whole source src { ... udp(); tcp(); } and if so, I suspect that my other lines : udp(); tcp(ip("192.168.0.1") port(514)); tcp(); internal(); goes within the source stdlog {} Regards, Ola -----Original Message----- From: bazsi [mailto:bazsi@balabit.hu] Sent: den 5 februari 2003 14:59 To: syslog-ng Cc: bazsi Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]HP-UX syslog_ng server configfile On Wed, Feb 05, 2003 at 02:46:07PM +0100, Ola.Fjallman@adb.ds.sll.se wrote:

Does anyone have any idea what this means? As I have understood /dev/log is correct unix-stream on HP-UX.

no, it is a pipe(), each message padded to 2048 bytes. Here's an excerpt from the INSTALL file: HP-UX (HP-UX 11.0) ------------------ HP-UX uses a named pipe called /dev/log for log transport, and you can use this with the pipe() driver with an additional option. HP-UX pads all incoming messages to 2048 bytes by default, so you need to specify this: source stdlog { pipe("/dev/log" pad_size(2048)); }; -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
