Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.4.1-18
If you modify your /etc/syslog.conf to have a line like:
*.crit @192.168.0.255
restart sysklogd, and then run:
logger -p local0.crit -t foo "message"
you'll observe in /var/log/daemon.log:
Apr 24 04:14:29 host syslogd 1.4.1-18: restart.
Apr 24 04:15:13 host syslogd: sendto: Permission denied
It appears this is because syslog isn't enabling broadcast on the socket
it is using. See:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/System/Linux/Q_20862022.html
Observed in Debian Etch (and v1.5.0 as used in Ubuntu 8.04).
Being able to send logs to a broadcast address is supposedly something
that is supposed to work, according to various third party documents on
configuring syslog (not syslog-ng).
