The validation could even be stricter, but I don't want to close out block/char devices if someone wants to write there, so only the FIFO file type is excluded from using the file driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

If the fifo doesn't exist when syslog-ng needs it, syslog-ng will warn repeatedly and CPU goes 100%. Is this the wanted behavior? Maybe only warn once for each fifo? Maybe an option to create the fifo if non-existant? With specified perminssions and user/group access?

as of this patch: commit 5f5d4bd914798c10eef01f6baaf575bc0e3c1557 Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> Date: Thu Feb 5 11:08:11 2009 +0100 [affile] make it possible to create named pipes As reported on the mailing list, syslog-ng is not currently capable of creating named pipes on its own. This patch will make syslog-ng autocreate pipes when needed. it is possible to create named pipes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
