Hello,
For DHCPD, my ps -aux give me this :
root 611 0.0 0.2 1364 636 ? S 13:13 0:00 /sbin/syslogd -a /var/lib/dhcp/var/run/dhcpd.pid
Why DHCPD has an process with syslog ??
syslogd has been started to listen on the socket /var/lib/dhcp/var/run/dhcpd.pid in addition to /dev/log.
This (see below) socket would be useful for a dhcpd process that runs in an chroot environment with root=/var/lib/dhcp/.
addendum: this socket actually is not needed in the first place. The useful thing about it is that, when syslogd is restarted for some reason, chroot'ed dhcpd will still be able continue logging. That's why :) Peter -- Peter Poeml poeml at suse.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.
