I am migrating some test systems from openSUSE 11.0 to 13.2 - systemd is in fact making things quite a lot easier.

However, I have a problem with getting syslog-ng started early enough. This is probably due to a DNS problem, which will have be looked at separately.

syslog-ng has a After=var-run.mount -

# systemctl status var-run.mount var-run.mount - Runtime Directory Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount; static) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Thu 2015-03-12 10:54:08 CET; 40min ago ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=!/var/run was not met Where: /var/run What: /run

Might this be causing the late start of syslog-ng ?

Doesn't look like it, I've done a few tests. It's looking like it's really my DNS issue that is still causing the delay. I'll be looking closer at that.

Okay, it really is the DNS problem that is causing the delayed startup.

In 13.2 standard syslog socket (/dev/log) is owned by journald which is started very early. Syslog daemons are supposed to listen on private socket and journald forwards messages to syslog over this private socket. This is by design.

Okay, thats' fine.

What exactly "other daemons not being able to use syslog" means?

Well, for instance - openvpn is started before syslog-ng, so the startup messages are not written to /var/log/messages. However, once syslog-ng is up and running, I would expect messages from openvpn to start appearing in /var/log/messages, but they don't. I see messages from openvpn with e.g. "systemctl status openvpn", but they are not in /var/log/messages. If I restart openvpn when syslog is running, the messages start being written to /var/log/messages.

Please also show syslog-ng.service definition.

how are you getting systemd to start on "private sockets", whatever that is?

Sorry, I do not see any occurrence of word "systemd" in what I wrote so I do not understand your question. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi,

can you please not misspell systemd? It is annoying.

Is the string "systemd" un-blacklisted again? If it's still blacklisted by list moderators then we should better avoid it like Per did to not make them angry. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
