In the genesis image rsyslogd is started with the -c4 option in
/bin/doxcat without any syslog servers configured (before any network is
available). However, /sbin/dhclient-script inserts any syslog addresses
gathered during DHCP into the rsyslogd.conf and performs a *HUP* of the
previously started rsyslogd process. This logic fails with version 4
because a full restart (re-read of the config) is not performed upon HUP
as it was in version 3 and therefore the messages are never directed to
the syslog server.
Although there is a configuration change that is possible, a full
restart HUP is deprecated and remove in version 5. I believe the correct
fix is to actually perform a full restart of rsyslog in dhclient-script.
A simple proposed patch is attached, however, it does not perform any
error checking in the event that the restart fails in some way.
