They are, in fact, tabs. Actually, the syslog.conf file is the one that came w/ debian's sysklogd package; i haven't touched it. > > where "<tab>" is a real tabulation (don't write it). Run a "killall -HUP > syslogd" and use a "ipchains -A input -p all -l" to test. Finally ping Both are 2.4.3 boxes; one is built w/ netfilter support, the other w/out. So, it's definitely not a firewalling issue.. > yourself (ping localhost). --- localhost ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 0.040/0.047/0.054/0.007 ms Gosh, i feel so dirty now.. > If it don't work, you're (or your syslog) in trouble. > I hope not. :( Any other ideas? I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug in the kernel, or w/ the 2.4.3 w/ debian syslog interaction. Mar. 18 and 20th were the last days something was logged; this coincides w/ when I switched to 2.4.3-pre4 or 2.4.3-pre5 (according to timestamps on ftp.kernel.org). Anyone else notice kernel syslogging _stop_ completely when they switched from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3 (or one of the 2.4.3-preX's)?
