[syslog-ng] Error parsing conf file?

[Zb Indelak]

Thank you for such a quick turn-around on this issue.  I've run into a couple more.

1) New files are being created with file permissions equal to the inverse of umask, entirely ignoring the permissions specified in the perm() option.  Hardcoding the permissions in the open() call in affile.c fixes the problem (yes, I know it's not the way to do it, but I was in a hurry).  In other
words, it appears that the value of mode is all ones rather than whatever was specified in the perm() option.

2) Syslog-ng does not appear to be closing the log files and maintains a lock on the files until the application exits.  This one is causing me no end of grief.

Thanks again,
ZB

Committed this patch, it makes syslog-ng read your configuration file
fine:

--- orig/src/cfg-lex.l
+++ mod/src/cfg-lex.l
@@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ static struct keyword keywords[] = {
        { "pad_size",           KW_PAD_SIZE },
        { "mark_freq",          KW_MARK_FREQ },
        { "sync_freq",          KW_SYNC_FREQ },

        { "long_hostnames",     KW_CHAIN_HOSTNAMES },

Should be available in tomorrow's snapshot.
