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.
Maybe it's as simple as the severity cutoff in your syslog.conf (for category "daemon", from the default_syslog channel) not letting the messages through? What severity are the messages you are seeing via my_default? (Add a "print-severity yes;" to its definition if you haven't already.)
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.
You never need to restart named. (Well, hardly ever.) You can change the logging configuration in named.conf, check your syntax with named-checkconf, and put it into effect with "rndc reconfig". -- Chris Thompson Email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
