SpamAssassin v3.0.2, Perl 5.8.5 on Solaris 9 SunOS spam2 5.9 Generic_118558-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
We recently installed SpamAssassin 3.0.2 on a Solaris 9 system. We are starting spamd from /etc/rc2.d so that it starts up AFTER the syslog daemon starts, using the following switches (among others): --syslog=local2 --syslog-socket=inet However, after a reboot, spamd doesn't send messages to syslog, and if I capture the output from the spamd startup, I see the following errors: getservbyname failed for tcp at /usr/local/bin/spamd line 1746 udp connect: nobody listening at /usr/local/bin/spamd line 1746 failed to setlogsock(inet): no connection to syslog available at /usr/local/bin/spamd line 1746 reporting logs to stderr Restarting spamd will make it start using syslog properly. This problem does not occur with a similar setup on a Solaris 6 system. Any idea what is causing the problem? Thanks, Larry
