The kernel developers decided that one should use CAP_SYSLOG to access /proc/kmsg, instead of CAP_SYS_ADMIN (a good change, in itself), and that the kernel should warn once per process when a program tries to access it with the old capability.
The easy solution or workaround for Natty is to disable capability usage in syslog-ng: remove the comment from the #SYSLOGNG_OPTS="--no-caps" line in /etc/defaults/syslog-ng. Newer versions of syslog-ng (3.3 and up) have support for CAP_SYSLOG. Versions prior to that will trigger the kernel warning unless compiled without capability support, or without disabling them on the command- line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759590 Title: kernel message after replacing rsyslog with syslog-ng -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
