[syslog-ng] issue during start up

Tue May 15 23:44:49 CEST 2012

Hello Sandor:

Sadly, I am not sure what version I have installed on the system where it is currently working.  Is there a command or a place where I can check what version is installed?

On the newly installed system, I installed Syslog-NG via yum/epel, which has 3.2.5-3.el6 available for Centos 6.2.

However, thank you for the selinux tip!  I disabled it on the new system, and it appears to be functional, but I will have to do some more testing to make sure.

Thank you!

Hi,

Which syslog-ng version are you using? Do you have any security-related stuff (apparmor, SElinux) active which could drop the CAP_NET_RAW capability?

Regards,

Sandor
