getutent() emulation for systems which not have one is still broken in at least one way. getutent() should return NULL when the EOF is reached.

Though I don't understand C language very well...

If read() read EOF then return (ssize_t)NULL. It's right. But, Can I hope stored NULL to &ut by read() at the time?

No. I have fixed it now. But Solaris should support getutent() calls, so you don't need those routines. This is the correct getutent() call for those interested: struct utmp *getutent(void) { static struct utmp ut; if (utent_fd == -1) { utent_fd = open(_PATH_UTMP, O_RDONLY | O_NOCTTY); } if (utent_fd == -1) return NULL; rc = read(utent_fd, &ut, sizeof(ut)); if (rc <= 0) { close(utent_fd); utent_fd = -1; return NULL; } else { return &ut; } }

...

Could you provide some messages before the first door_return call? Maybe in a private message.

OK. The following is what I Executed commands.

# cp /dev/null /var/log/test.log # ls -l /var/log/test.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Aug 6 13:41 /var/log/test.log # /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng Terminated # su - # su - # ps -ef | grep syslog-ng root 21724 1 0 13:43:29 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng # cat /var/log/test.log Aug 6 13:43:29 src@sun1 syslog-ng[21724]: syslog-ng version 1.1.30 starting

I'd need a bit different truss outputs. 1) Launch syslog-ng using the truss -o syslog-ng.truss ./syslog-ng -dv Using -dv will prevent forking. 2) While the previous truss is running, on a different terminal (or VT session): truss -o logger.truss logger "This is a message" The files syslog-ng.truss and logger.truss is what I need. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
