[Bug 789174] Re: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
On my Ubuntu 12.04 machine (upgraded from 10.04) it was apparmor blocking the tcp listener. Adding the lines network inet dgram, network inet6 dgram, network inet stream, network inet6 stream, to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.rsyslogd worked for me (as described on http://serverfault.com/questions/450546/rsyslogd-not-listening-on- port). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789174 Title: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.

[Bug 789174] Re: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
I am also seeing this bug, and would like to see this resolved outside of the workaround to a port higher than 1024.

[Bug 789174] Re: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
Ryan, the pipermail link above is to upstream discussion about this. Unless there is something upstream newer than that 2 year old information, your options are: a.) run rsyslog as root by removing the $PrivDropToUser and $PrivDropToGroup options, or possibly overriding them in /etc/resolv.conf.d/ files (i'm not sure if this is possible or not). b.) use the 'Sleep' work around suggested on the thread (git commit [1]). c.) listen on a port 1024 d.) pay upstream for 2 weeks work to get the fix done correctly.

[Bug 789174] Re: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
Scott, Thank you for the information. In my initial browse I'm not seeing anything updated regarding improved listener behavior, so I think that sleep workaround stands. I'm definitely looking into that over either changing the port or running as root (which I'd like to avoid if at all possible). I'll solicit my work to see how they feel on reimbursement for the proper bug fix to address the privilege race condition. Chances are they'll air on the side of cheap and stick with the ugly, unforunately. Thank you again for your response.

I changed the port from 514 to 1025(bigger that 1024 ) in /etc/rsyslog.conf file in the TCP part nad this worked. is this a wrong solution and if it is ok why don't change the port until the bug fixed in rsyslog? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789174 Title: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
