Re: replacing sysklogd (was: Oldest RC bugs affecting etch)
Hi Nathanael! You wrote: 284914 -- trivial bug in klogd. I still say we switch to another syslogd implementation and remove sysklogd entirely. It's got 4 RC bugs and 99 bugs total, including 34 patches. Effectively, it's unmaintained, but Joey hasn't orphaned it. It's a sloppy, screwy codebase, so I can understand if Joey doesn't want to fix it. I've been using syslog-ng happily for several years now, but metalog seems to be a reasonable alternative as well. Well, I personally have never had much problems with sysklogd, but I agree that syslog-ng is a lot nicer. I didn't know that it is unmaintained upstream though. What are other distributions using? -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I don't know what other distribution uses. I use metalog wherever I have admin rights. eloy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] jak to dobrze, że są oceany - bez nich byłoby jeszcze smutniej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
