Package: sysklogd Version: 1.4.1-16 Severity: critical I've seen this cause a boot take hours. The system looks like it's mostly idle, but everything which uses syslog is excruciatingly slow.
It is possible that this is the same which is mentioned in bug 273269, as both systems I've seen this on run with -r and -l, but the explanation looks suspicious, as I believe the last time I saw it DNS was actually working. In that case, -l wasn't working, but reverse resolution was - every host was logged with the full reverse name instead of the short name. In another case, the slowdown kept openvpn from starting, and thus all actual log messages were from localhost. /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart solved the problem in both situations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (995, 'testing'), (550, 'experimental'), (550, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.2+kai.20050930 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sysklogd depends on: ii klogd [linux-kernel-log-dae 1.4.1-16 Kernel Logging Daemon ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
