 Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 6:22 pm Post subject: msyslog logging DHCP from a chroot environment |
 |
|
I'd like to follow the directions I received when building the chroot environment suggested by the latest DHCP ebuild, but I'm not sure what they mean. Could someone tell me how to make msyslog listen on DHCP (or point me to a doc that I couldn't find)?
| Code: | $ ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-misc/dhcp-3.0_p2-r2/dhcp-3.0_p2-r2.ebuild config
* Setting up the chroot directory... [ ok ]
* To enable logging from the DHCP server, configure your
* logger (app-admin/msyslog-1.09a-r1) to listen on /chroot/dhcp/dev/log

I don't know about msyslog, but here's the relevant line from my syslog-ng
| Code: |
source src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal(); file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: ")); udp(); unix-dgram("/chroot/dhcp/dev/log"); }; |

| That's a syslog-ng conf entry, quite a different beast (and the best sysloger IMHO) |

I use syslog-ng for my server and metalog for my workstation and lappy.
Haven't tried msyslog - anyone know how it compares? |

msyslog has everything I need, right down to SQL remote logging capability which I plan to need in the future. It also has a config system more like the legacy syslogs, though I understand it it a little different.
