[syslog-ng]RE: syslog-ng digest, Vol 1 #683 - 3 msgs

probably you should recompile tcpwrappers with the 'process_options' feature
enabled in the Makefile (or something like that) for enhanced language
options (:-((:

###########################################
# Optional: Turning on language extensions
#
# Instead of the default access control language that is documented in
# the hosts_access.5 document, the wrappers can be configured to
# implement an extensible language documented in the hosts_options.5
# document.  This language is implemented by the "options.c" source
# module, which also gives hints on how to add your own extensions.
# Uncomment the next definition to turn on the language extensions
# (examples: allow, deny, banners, twist and spawn).
#
#STYLE	= -DPROCESS_OPTIONS	# Enable language extensions.

chrs.

Oh dear, this is what I get for reading an outdated man page instead
of looking at the program itself.

Here's the log:

 configure:2725: checking for tcpd.h
 configure:2735: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
 configure:2762: checking for hosts_access in -lwrap
 configure:2781: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lwrap   1>&5
 /usr/lib/libwrap.so: undefined reference to `allow_severity'
 /usr/lib/libwrap.so: undefined reference to `deny_severity'
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 configure: failed program was:
 #line 2770 "configure"
 #include "confdefs.h"
 /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
 /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
     builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
 char hosts_access();

 int main() {
 hosts_access()
 ; return 0; }
 configure:2811: checking whether to enable TCP wrapper support

I think the fix is that the test program should define "allow_severity"
and "deny_severity", since those are required to be in the user program
for it to compile successfully.

Working as expected, on a lightly loaded loghost. I'll report back
tomorrow. Thanks.
