** Summary changed: - Remote syslog logging (parameter order crucial) + Remote syslog logging paralyzes system
** Description changed: I tried to get ubuntu (breezy&hoary) to do remote syslog logging from my ADSL router. I found that I needed to modify the line: + SYSLOGD="-u syslog" in /etc/init.d/sysklogd However I found if I changed it to: SYSLOGD="-r -u syslog" then logins toke forever, and reboots or shutdown never finish. if I change it to SYSLOGD="-u syslog -r" everything works perfectly. - The manual doesn't mention the order of the parameters is critical, and - the problem of getting wrong is rather serious. Since it generally required - me to turn of the computer at the wall switch, and then undo the change - to /etc/init.d/sysklogd in recovery mode. - I've no idea why the "-r" before the "-u" causes the slow logins and shutdown. -- Remote syslog logging paralyzes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
