For syslog-ng to receive kernel logs, you need to either add a source for /proc/kmsg, or (better) run klogd. (it's almost written in the documentation..)

Interesting.

klogd is better because it translates the kernel logs using System.map.

The trick, on my debian, is that installing the package syslog-ng removes sysklogd, which contained both the old syslog and klogd, so I simply copied by hand the klogd daemon in /usr/local/sbin..

Ah, syslog-ng vs. sysklogd in Debian is my problem. Thanks. -- ljlane@nontoxic.org
