Hi, I´ve installed syslog-ng on one of my FreeBSD 4.10 machines a couple of days ago. I would like to have internal log-handling being done by BSD´s own syslog and network related syslogging by syslog-ng. Though I have checked my config file over and over again for any apparent mistakes I can not find any reason why the proccess should die. The config is as follows: ---------------------------------- options { use_fqdn(yes); keep_hostname(yes); use_dns(no); long_hostnames(off); sync(0); log_fifo_size(1000); }; source network { udp(ip("192.168.0.1") port(514)); }; destination hosts { file("/var/log/myrouters/$HOST/$FACILITY.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY.log" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)); }; log { source(network); destination(hosts); }; ---------------------------------- Doing a 'strings syslog-ng.core | more' shows me things like ... [...] io_set_nonblocking: fcntl() failed, %z Can't set close-on-exec flag for fd %i: %z io.c: connecting using fd %i io.c: listening on fd %i io.c: Preparing fd %i for reading and writing io.c: Preparing fd %i for reading io.c: Preparing fd %i for writing reopen_fd: open failedfor %S: %z Marking fd %i for closing. Internal error, too long message to werror() [...] ... which I am too dumb to understand. Does anyone have any suggestion? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
