[Cooker] syslog-ng as default?
If somebody still remembers (Oden?) we spoke about transition to syslog-ng. I am using it for at least a year now without any apparent ill effects; the only open question was klogd Oops decoding and most responses I got from LKML indicated that klogd is obsolete; now-a-days we have internal symbol decoding in both 2.4 (mdk extra) and 2.6 (built in by default) so it is not a problem anymore. The transition is not as easy, configuration file is not compatible so any tool messing with it must be updated. Immediately I can think about msec and MNF (it has options for logging configuration); webmin is likely to be affected too. Anything else? so is it worth it? If yes it must be done as soon as possible to leave enough time for testing. -andrey

I'm all for it, though I'd imagine we will be hearing "Where's the old syslogd? WHAT'S GOING ON?" in mdk 10 :-) Abel > > > -- Abel Cheung Linux counter #256983 | http://counter.li.org GPG Key: (0xC67186FF) | http://deaddog.org/gpg.asc Key fingerprint: 671C C7AE EFB5 110C D6D1 41EE 4152 E1F1 C671 86FF pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
