Hello, Baszi. I'm having some stability issues on Solaris 8 and I'm not quite sure how to best go about resolving them. Occasionally, I will notice syslog-ng crashing, most often after receiving a UDP-based message. Running in debug mode, I see the following:

bash-2.05a# /apps/syslog-ng/current/sbin/syslog-ng -vdF -f /apps/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf binding fd 3, inetaddr: 0.0.0.0, port: 514 io.c: Preparing fd 3 for reading io.c: connecting using fd 7 connecting fd 7 to inetaddr 10.130.230.162, port 514 io.c: connecting using fd 8 connecting fd 8 to inetaddr 10.120.230.161, port 514 syslog-ng version 1.5.17 starting io.c: Preparing fd 8 for writing io.c: Preparing fd 7 for writing io.c: Preparing fd 9 for writing io.c: sockaddr2info(): Unsupported address family 0. Abort (core dumped)

I'm building syslog-ng with gcc 3.1 on Solaris 8 with the following setup:

syslog-ng 1.5.23 libol 0.3.5 CFLAGS -m64 -O3

I'm attaching the core dump just in case. In this particular case, syslog-ng crashes as soon as spamd (from the spamassassin package) connects. The lines in spamd are something like:

if ($log_facility ne 'stderr') { eval { setlogsock('unix'); syslog('debug', 'spamd starting'); # required to actually open the socket };

Is there something in my syslog-ng configuration that may be causing issues?

no, as it seems solaris doesn't return a sensible address for unix domain socket peers. btw: solaris does not usually use unix domain sockets for log transport, what driver do you use for /dev/log?
