so you created /etc/newsyslog.conf that didnt match your system exactly and when you tried to run `newsyslog`, it errored also, why would you run it as a service ? from the manpage: NAME newsyslog - maintain system log files to manageable sizes DESCRIPTION Newsyslog is a program that should be scheduled to run periodically by cron. it's not a system logger, it's a logfile rotater oops. I definetly misunderstood then. a big too quick on the trigger - I installed newsyslog after trying my msyslog-1.08g (and 1.09d) ebuilds which wouldn't work without heavy patching (it's really a crappy piece of work msyslog) - so I needed a syslog deamon fast :) so we're all set then ? :) Indeed :) now I only have the outstanding security bug regarding msyslog, that prompted me to change syslog deamon in the first place :) newsyslog isnt a system logger |
