My central logging is no longer taking getting log messages over the LAN from my OpenSuse workstations.
When I checked the syslog-ng config files on them in case a zypper up had changed things I found them unchanged but on inspection found syslog-ng wasn't running.
Instead rsyslog was running.
How did this come about? I've made no explicit changes, so it must have been as a result of of a 'zypper up' or 'zypper dup'.
In that case, check /var/log/zypp/history, it should show something.
What ho? I'd like to reverse this. Its this supposed to be some setting in /etc/sysconfig/syslog that I haven't noticed before? Of course
# SYSLOG_DAEMON="rsyslogd"
but why did it change?
Had you changed it? I think it is the default setting, and any run of SuSEconfig would reset things to rsyslogd, I guess.
Why, if I installed syslog-ng later, does it not 'replace' rsyslog?
Well, you can install many things without actually running them... Pit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
