syslog-ng installs a few config files in the doc directory already. I expect users who are going to be customizing syslog-ng configuration will be interested in looking at the docs and the config files there in the same directory. Bug #93240 will be handled by the hardened team and I'm waiting for input on the other one. Yes you are right. I just didn't notice that somehow. If only the Handbook or ebuild hinted me about those examples... Typical desktop user just installs "the logger" and forgets about it. I just felt like I had to configure syslog-ng on my own. But the examples were always on my disk... Wow. Anyway, thanks for quick and accurate reply! Do the docs also mention the need/option to install logrotate, so that /var/log doesn't run out of space? And the fact that some packages respect the logrotate USE flag and add their own logrotate configuration file under /etc/logrotate.d/ so that you don't have to manually make an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf? Otherwise a relevant comment could help as a reminder with a new install. -- Regards, Mick |
