syslogs altlog_proglist and isc-dhcpd logging for FreeBSD

[Harald Schmalzbauer]

Hello,


I'm running chrooted. My problem was with logging.





The problems are:
- /etc/rc.d/syslogd has the altlog_proglist hard coded

Is it possible to get these changes into base system?
@wxs Any objections changing dhacpd_rootdir into dhcpd_chrootdir variable?

Shall I file a PR?

Thanks,

since isc-dhcpd-4.1.1 promised ipv6, I wanted to replace my existing DHCP servers with this new version. dhcpd is very noisy and setting "log-facility local1" in dhcpd.conf doesn't work out of the box (*) because of the chrooted environment. But some good guys already coded everything which is needed to have dhcpd logging with chrooted. - syslogd has the -l switch which enables to place an additional log socket into the chrooted enivronment. - /etc/rc.d/syslogd already knows about this and has the variable altlog_proglist, which checks for possible chrooted daemons - /etc/rc.d/syslogd checks for daemons in rc.conf which have flags any_chrootdir, but rc.d/isc-dhcpd uses dhcpd_rootdir. So here's the view simple lines that make dhcpd logging working with individula log-facility configs: -# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/syslogd,v 1.13.2.1 2009/08/03 08:13:06 kensmith Exp $ +# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/syslogd,v 1.13.2.1.4.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06 kensmith Exp $ syslogd_program="/usr/sbin/syslogd" # path to syslogd, if you want a different one. +syslogd_altlog_proglist="named" # Check vor chrooted daemons and place additional socket inetd_program="/usr/sbin/inetd" # path to inetd, if you want a different one. P.S.: For the records, here another possibility to make dhcpd use different syslog facility in chrooted environmen: Chaging the syslog facility of dhcpd with "log-facility local7;" in dhcpd.conf doesn't work for chrooted dhcpd. At startup, it uses the local datagram syslogd socket /dev/log (/var/run/syslog.sockets). The syslog facility change is done after changeroot took place, so in the chrooted environment there is no syslogd reachable. To change the default syslog facility from LOG_DAEMON to LOG_LOCAL7 add the following to the ports Makefile:
