Hello, Working on a rsyslog install on an AIX platform.
The install of rsyslog worked with no errors and after editing the rsyslog.conf file I get a Segmentation fault error: Starting Rsyslogd... ./Srsyslog[66]: 9633992 Segmentation fault(coredump) done. Here are the statements added to the rsyslog.conf file (ip address was masked with 9's for this email): ######## TCP Forwarding ######### $WorkDirectory /var/log/rsyslog # default location for work (spool) files $ActionQueueType LinkedList # use asynchronous processing $ActionQueueFileName srvrfwd # set file name, also enables disk mode $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries on insert failure $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save in-memory data if rsyslog shuts down # Temporary log server IP address *.* @@999.999.999.999:5140 Here is the output from the dbx debug tool of the core file: Type 'help' for help.
