Damn, I hate it when I do this. I then found: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1PI47467
- **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of the IBM Communications Server for z/OS Version * * 2 Release 1 IP: syslog daemon * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * The syslog daemon configuration file name in the EZBSYSLOGD * * name/token pair is truncated by 1 character * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Apply the PTF * **************************************************************** During initialization, the syslog daemon creates a name/token pair named EZBSYSLOGD. The information saved in the name/token pair contains the configuration file name. The last character of the name was overlaid with 1-byte of x'00'. Problem conclusion - The syslog daemon has been corrected to save the entire configuration file name in the EZBSYSLOGD name/token pair.
