Hi, I am using Redhat Enterprise 4. I am using the official rpm image built by Balabit for RHE 4 with their startup script. The executable did not return anything (at least in front of me inside console). For strace I do not know how to use it. -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Balazs Scheidler Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 10:35 PM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Starting syslog-ng as root On Fri, 2006-05-26 at 16:58 +0300, Muath Al Khalaf wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to start syslog-ng as root but failed. The startup script is using daemon. I have tried also by issuing /sbin/syslog-ng but got nothing. I know it is better to run it with user privileges but this is to be able to log kernel messages file("proc/kmsg");

hmm.. I don't see why it failed, but I would certainly need some more information to be able to help you. The return code of the executable, an strace dump or something. -- Bazsi _______________________________________________ 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
