Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sysklogd
If you modify your /etc/syslog.conf to have a line like: *.crit @192.168.0.255 restart sysklogd, and then run: logger -p local0.crit -t foo "message" you'll observe in /var/log/daemon.log: Apr 24 04:14:29 host syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. Apr 24 04:15:13 host syslogd: sendto: Permission denied It appears this is because syslog isn't enabling broadcast on the socket it is using. See: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/System/Linux/Q_20862022.html Observed in Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian Etch (I haven't tested 8.10; will you guys open an upstream ticket or shall I? I haven't checked to see if one already exists in the DBTS). Being able to send logs to a broadcast address is supposedly something that is supposed to work, according to various third party documents on configuring syslog (not syslog-ng). ** Affects: sysklogd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- directing logs to a broadcast address results in "sendto: Permission denied" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365932 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
