Hello, I recently setup some gentoo boxes that had syslog-ng setup on them. Later I decided to go with metalog because it was what I already had on all of my servers. I actually need them all to be metalog now, but when I made the switch I ran into problems.
Here's what I have done: /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop rc-update del syslog-ng emerge -vaC syslog-ng emerge metalog mv /var/log /var/log.syslog-ng mkdir /var/log /etc/init.d/metalog start rc-update add metalog default Now the problem is, occasionally (I'm not sure what the pattern is) I will receive messages upon starting services: * Caching service dependencies ... * Service 'syslog-ng' already provided by 'logger'!; * Not adding service 'metalog'... [ ok ] And the other problem is that when looking through /var/log/everything/current, I find that hardly anything is getting logged anymore. I couldn't really find much through google. Any ideas? Is there something that I may have missed? Thank you in advance :) Robert -- [email protected] mailing list
