What is your OS version ? i hit a similar problem some time ago, and it seems that the syslog client code remembers any error on the socket (e.g. ICMP host/port unreachable messages) and does not retry afterwards (or for some time, or there is some bug in handling the error condition). I am a bit fuzzy on the details because this was some 3 years ago on a 4.x client. Your problem is likely because ppp starts before the syslog daemon, the initial message fails and then you get nothing anymore. the vsyslog code in 6.x (libc/gen/syslog.c) is slightly different from the one in 4.11. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
