[syslog-ng] [RFC] procfile destination

[Valentijn Sessink]

Hi,

Finally found some time to test this. My setup is rather simple (I 
think), the config-file now says:
destination d_syslogblock { pseudofile 
("/proc/net/xt_recent/syslogblock" template("+${usracct.device}\n")); 
file("/var/log/syslogblock"); file("/tmp/blocker" 
template("+${usracct.device}\n")); };

The "blocker" file is just for testing purposes. and "syslogblock" is to 
log all evil to a regular log file as well.

I got it to work rather easily and will report my findings.

In the mean time, a question: is there anyone who guards the debian/ 
directory inside the source tree? There seem to be some (mostly minor) 
issues, and as I'm fixing them locally in order to get syslog-ng up and 
running, I may as well send them upstream. If anyone cares ;-) that is.

Best regards,

Valentijn
