Tried that of course. There is no relevant error message. Further testing revealed: -d no longer gives me the debug messages on stdout. I had to run kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid) to get a verbose output. With a tiny rsyslog.conf like $ModLoad imuxsock *.* /var/log/debug-rsyslog I finally get log messages again. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
