on second thought, i think this simpler patch would suffice for an
option to disable:

this keeps the default behavior like it is now (remote syslogging only),
but makes it possible to disable remote syslogging by setting it to a
non-empty value other than remote, where it will then use the the
syslog.conf from the chroot, so any needed customizations can be handled
there...
thoughts?

hmm, we should find an automatic notification system of some kind, this
change is included in ubuntu in
server/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/000-basic-configuration
yes, sorry for not giving credit- i definitely stole it from the Ubuntu
plugin, though it's a pretty basic idea :)
since syslog was patched to accept /etc/ltsp/syslogd to override the
default (since edgy), we install a syslogd file that enables remote
logging with our ltsp-server package in this path.
i think there is a syslog-ng that allows for dropping files into a
directory, rather than patching to include a specific file... might be
worth exploring further...
that doesnt give you the guarantee that syslogging is on if you use a
differnt server, but for a default it makes still sense as you will
fix the problem for a majority of users that just uses the package
without tweaks.
yeah, sounds good overall.
i still would like to be able to disable remote syslogging on the client
side... something like this:

or simply leaving the default /etc/syslog.conf in place, though it would
waste a bit more ram (as default syslog duplicates some information in
several files), but it would also make it possible to make
customizations...

Bug#410485: ltsp-server: remote syslogging on ltsp clients is broken
Package: ltsp-server
Version: 0.99debian11
Severity: important
Tags: patch
sysklogd and klogd are not in the whitelist of services to be run by
ltsp clients at boot, so they are disabled. yet ltsp clients are
configured to do remote syslogging by default, but because syslogd isn't
running, nothing gets logged to the servers. this is a feature used in
many ltsp environments...
simply adding sysklogd and klogd to the whitelist of services in
runlevel 2 should fix this problem:

might also be worth considering a patch to disable remote syslogging,
for environments where this is not desired...
