What OS? On RHEL5 I have to set options in /etc/sysconfig/syslog (separate from /etc/syslog.conf) like this: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -a /var/named/chroot/dev/log"
-----Original Message----- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Todd Snyder Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 10:17 AM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: BIND not talking to syslog daemon Good day, I've run into a bit of an oddity, and I'm hoping someone might have an idea. I have a nameserver running BIND 9.3.5-p1 that doesn't want to log to the syslog daemon. I have 2 identically configured servers, one of them works, one doesn't. My logging configuration looks like: category default { my_default; default_syslog; default_debug; }; I don't have a channel defined for "default_syslog" which means the daemon should be using the built-in channel, as I understand it. While logs are seen in "my_default", they are just not showing up in syslog. We have restarted syslog-ng and verified the configuration, it's the same as the working unit. Syslog works otherwise on the box from other daemons, just not named. Our thought is that for some reason the named daemon can't connect to syslog, or gave up trying. We cannot reload named on the box right now, so I am looking to see if anyone has suggestions about what might be causing this, and/or ways to resolve it without restarting the named daemon. Thanks in advance, Todd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
