--- Begin Message ---Package: sysklogd Version: 1.4.1-10 Syslogd-listfiles script doesn't show any files (even with -a option) from syslogd.conf containing `0' pattern in its name. After close examination it became clear that it is caused by improper initialization of $opt_skip variable. $opt_ign_size = 0; $opt_news = 0; $opt_skip = 0; ^^^^^^^^^^^^ At the end of the script all filename lines are checked against skip pattern which is just `0' by default: foreach $file (keys (%output)) { $skip = $file; if ($skip !~ /$opt_skip/) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ printf "%s\n", $file; So, when the `-s' parameter isn't altered by user, output of lines containg `0' is suppressed. To fix it initialization of that variable should be changed to value which is a bit less popular than `0' (for example "\0" to retain consistency or some `match nothing' regexp pattern). How to reproduce: [ cut ] songo@fugazi:/tmp$ cat syslog.conf.test local0.* /var/log/hosts/router01.log local1.* /var/log/hosts/router02.log local2.* /var/log/hosts/router03.log local3.* /var/log/hosts/router33.log songo@fugazi:/tmp$ /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles -f syslog.conf.test -a /var/log/hosts/router33.log [ cut ] I'm using Debian GNU/Linux stable, but this problem is present in sysklogd package for testing/unstable.
