Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sysklogd
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu. Description: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS Release: 8.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic. sysklogd: Installed: 1.5-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.5-1ubuntu1 3) What you expected to happen I am expecting /etc/syslog.conf lines like local1.* /var/log/amavislog to cause syslogd-listfiles to print out the name of the log file in question (ie. /var/log/amavislog) 4) What happened instead syslogd-listfiles does *not* list the log file if a space is at the end of the pertinent syslog.conf line. If the space is removed, then it *is* listed. This seems to be parsing error by syslogd-listfiles, as all variants of syslog that read /etc/syslog.conf are happy to ignore whitespace at the end of lines as far as I know. ** Affects: sysklogd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701945 Title: syslogd-listfiles not reading lines with whitespace at the end of line -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
