Thanks for your patch.
However, I would just update the comment to state that the default
configuration should be set in /etc/default/syslogd.
I wouldn't set the default SYSLOGD in the init script to use the -u
switch as this configuration needs more work to make it works correctly
(as you
I have found further problems with syslogd, which I've reported in bug
#120085.

Sorry, I need to upload yet another version of the patchset... third
time lucky. I wasn't allowing for the possibility that
/etc/default/syslogd exists, yet doesn't set $SYSLOGD. This is mentioned
in the Debian policy manual at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy

I think it is. I'll flag this as a security bug.

Paradoxically, the /etc/default files are intended for you to modify to
*change* the defaults -- so you don't need to edit the init script, and
thus risk difficult merges if the init script changes.

You received this bug
so if I understand you right variables in init-scripts should not be
changed. Changes should be made in the default files.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for the explanation.

I still believe there is a bug, although it has changed slightly. I'm
running a very new, fresh install of feisty.
The default /etc/init.d/sysklogd has the line:
SYSLOGD=-u syslog
The default /etc/init.d/syslogd has the line:
SYSLOGD=
which overrides/nukes the init.d parameters.
:) oh - that was what confused me in the first post ... running syslogd
as root may be a potential security issue, is it ?

Do you have either an /etc/default/syslogd or /etc/ltsp/syslogd file,
which can override the value of that variable (as documented in the
script)?

thank you for your reply,
yes I have such a file:
--snip--
#
# For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD=-r
#
SYSLOGD=
--snap--
so it's correct that the default file is overwriting the the arguments
in the init.d-script ? isn't it better to place the default-definition
over the SYSLOGD variable in the
I can confirm this bug. I found that if you move the SYSLOGD line
containing the parameters down below the . /lib/lsb/init-functions
line, then it works. So something in init-functions is nuking the
SYSLOGD variable.

syslog is running as _root_ but in

Where is it documented that you can pass the variable into the script?
If you want to change the arguments, EDIT the script and change the
SYSLOGD variable definition near the top
