I'm using the sendmail supplied with OI-hipster with my own configuration files. It works correctly except that the MTA daemon logs to the wrong facility. Specifically, the client sendmail logs to the mail facility, which syslog sends to /var/log/syslog, but the sendmail MTA logs to the daemon facility, which syslog sends to /var/adm/messages . Has anyone else noticed this anomaly? The entire sendmail logging should be in /var/log/syslog .The sendmail source contains two instances of this code: openlog(SM_LOG_STR, LOG_PID, LOG_MAIL); That code sets the facility that will be used by subsequent syslog() calls by storing it into a static structure. The same sendmail source is used for both the client and MTA servers. It looks correct. My suspicion is that something is calling openlog() again with the wrong facility. I used truss to show the openlog() function like this: 7411/1@1: -> libc:openlog(0x80f62a1, 0x1, 0x10, 0x8064d4c) but it only shows the called function in libc. How do I determine the caller? I need to examine the startup of the MTA, as that's where the openlog() calls occur.
Have a look into /etc/syslog.conf, there are rules affecting the mail client and server logging: *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err operator *.alert root *.emerg * mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost) # # non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user" # log messages to be logged locally. # ifdef(`LOGHOST', , user.err /dev/sysmsg user.err /var/adm/messages user.alert `root, operator' user.emerg * ) -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology & Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026
