Rainer, now ist working again as non root. I think I know what the problem was: Looking in top i saw a process called "sh /usr/sbin/mailtext-nosyslog.sh" hanging around. So I killed it and now rsyslogd starts OK with port 514 as non-root. I guess this is the culprit: if $msg contains_i 'WAN is up' and $source contains_i 'buffalo' then ^/usr/sbin/mailtext-nosyslog.sh;WAN So, is this synchronous? Is there a better way to call my own scripts? Strange thing was that I did reboot yesterday evening, so the problem seems to have come back sometime yesterday evening.
