Thank you very much for your information regarding -s and -b options. Right now I'm using default value (16K) which is not always convenient.

Instead, I side-stepped it by using a different mechanism provided by syslogd for limiting the log size. The busybox syslogd provides two alternatives: 1. Circular buffer 2. Rotating logs The rotating log seems to be a simpler mechanism, e.g. you can read the log with normal filesystem tools, and you can specify on the syslogd command line how many logs to save and the size of each one. In my case, I changed the inittab line to look like this: slog:unknown:/sbin/syslogd -n -s 256 -b 2 in order to save two logs of 256K each. Once the main log file is filled, it is renamed to messages.n and a new log is started. More importantly, this mechanism works without crashing on my IXP425 board. I don't use any additional configuration file other than the command line options, so I couldn't help you on that account. I hope I was at least somewhat helpful, - Arnon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leonid Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 04:19 To: uClinux development list Subject: RE: [uClinux-dev] busybox syslogd bugs Arnon, did you resolve the problem? Because I bump into the same one. Another question - how do I specify configuration file for busybox syslogd?

This enables the busybox option: CONFIG_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG syslogd.c can't compile with this option. Looking at the code, there are some blatant (copy-paste?) syntax errors, e.g. using a variable "config" in the function doSyslogd, but only defining it in the function load_config. There are also warnings that are less critical (but annoying), such as using funcs that are defined in local.c, but not declaring them anywhere. Has anybody already patched this code, has it been fixed in a later busybox, or should I tackle this myself?
