[syslog-ng]Re: iptables/netfilter and syslog-ng

[Samuel Krempp]

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..)

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..
