Hi Gabor,
Thanks for your help, testing with echo "test" is working fine (check
bellow), but with usertty, I still have the same problem.
Furthermore, I tried strace and saw the following:
*[pid 2177] rt_sigaction(SIGALRM, {sa_handler=0x7fa889b23e10, sa_mask=[],
sa_flags=SA_RESTORER, sa_restorer=0x7fa889541840}, NULL, 8) = 0[pid 2177]
write(2</dev/pts/1<char 136:1>>, "[2020-10-28T17:15:36.178232] Posting
message to user terminal; user='thanos', line='/dev/ttyS0'\n", 96) = 96[pid
2177] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/ttyS0",
O_WRONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_APPEND|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)*
Do you know why? I am launching syslog-ng as root. (full strace in
attachment)
Regards,
Alex
