Sorry,

Here's the system information:

syslog-ng 1.6.9 built from source (on both ends) CentOS/RHEL 4.3 (on both ends) Apache 2.2 built from source as well /usr/bin/logger from package util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.12

I've just tried to send a 5000 byte message to syslog-ng and it correctly wrote MSGONLY to the file. Tried the same using logger and it did not work: write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431 readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12 ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) time([1144831342]) = 1144831342 write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431 readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12 ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) time([1144831342]) = 1144831342 write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431 readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12 ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) time([1144831342]) = 1144831342 write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431 read(0, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"..., 4096) = 905 readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12 ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) time([1144831342]) = 1144831342 write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431 strace shows that logger writes 431 bytes to syslog-ng, so the problem is in logger. -- Bazsi
