I just installed syslog-ng on a Solaris 9 (SPARC) server. It will not log anything to the console nor to /var/adm/messages. Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong? No existing syslog processes are running, I killed them and stopped them from start on reboot. I can not reboot this server now, it is something that has to remain up and running. The service is running: # ps -ef|grep syslog-ng root 29422 29002 0 17:33:14 pts/3 0:00 grep syslog-ng root 29364 1 0 17:27:44 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/ syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p /etc/syslog-ng/sy My /var/run/syslog_door file exists: # ls -la /var/run/syslog_door Drw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Jul 25 16:49 /var/run/ syslog_door The contents of my syslog-ng.conf file: # syslog-ng configuration file. # See syslog-ng(8) and syslog-ng.conf(5) for more information. # # 20070727 rsavage@nuvox.net options { sync (1); time_reopen (10); log_msg_size(8192); log_fifo_size(2048); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); stats(3600); mark_freq(1); }; source s_sys { internal(); sun-streams ("/dev/log" door("/var/run/ syslog_door")); }; destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); }; destination d_mesg { file("/var/adm/messages"); }; destination d_mail { file("/var/log/syslog"); }; destination d_auth { file("/var/log/authlog"); }; destination d_mlop { usertty("operator"); }; destination d_mlrt { usertty("root"); }; destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); }; filter f_filter1 { level(err) or (level(notice) and facility (auth, kern)); }; filter f_filter2 { level(err) or (facility(kern) and level(notice)) or (facility(daemon) and level(notice)) or (facility(mail) and level(crit)); }; filter f_filter3 { level(alert) or (facility(kern) and level(err)) or (facility(daemon) and level(err)); }; filter f_filter4 { level(alert); }; filter f_filter5 { level(emerg); }; filter f_filter6 { facility(kern) and level(notice); }; filter f_filter7 { facility(mail) and level(debug); }; filter f_filter8 { facility(user) and level(err); }; filter f_filter9 { facility(user) and level(alert); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter1); destination(d_cons); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter2); destination(d_mesg); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter3); destination(d_mlop); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter4); destination(d_mlrt); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter5); destination(d_mlal); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter6); destination(d_auth); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter7); destination(d_mail); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter8); destination(d_cons); destination(d_mesg); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter9); destination(d_mlop); destination(d_mlrt); }; -- Rory Savage, Systems Administrator Nuvox Communications, Server Operations A Data, Voice, and Solutions Provider Email: rsavage@nuvox.net
