Package: rsyslog
Version: 2.0.2-1~bpo40+1
Severity: normal
Hello,
on my /etc/rsyslog.conf you can read:
$template DynFile,"/var/log/system-%HOSTNAME%.log"
$outchannel porHost,$DynFile,104857600,echo test
*.* $porHost
rsyslog wants to create "/$DynFile" file, and not create
/var/log/system-%HOSTNAME%.log file .
This is with rsyslog from etch-backports.
I'll probe the sid version
