Public bug reported: the comment
# -r enables logging from remote machines (deprecated, only used in compat mode < 3) is no longer correct with the current version of rsyslog Perhaps replacing that line with another comment would be better. # rsyslogd no longer accepts the -r option to enable remote logging. # instead edit /etc/rsyslogd.conf and uncomment #$ModLoad imudp # and #$UDPServerRun 514 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 17 15:45:58 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120424.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=screen PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: rsyslog UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000955 Title: incorrect documentation comment in /etc/default/rsyslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1000955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
