I've read this twice and I'm still unsure what happens. My guess is that on new enough RedHat all logging goes through systemd and the rsyslog configuration contains explicit option to create /dev/log for compatibility reasons? But if that is the problem why is the /dev/log missing after the configuration was restored and rsyslog restarted? -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list Ltp-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
