Hello,
I have 2 servers running isc-dhcp3-server and syslog-ng. I have
configured dhcpd to run in a chroot. The following (reproducible)
sequence of events cause dhcpd logging to break:
1) Start syslog-ng
2) Start isc-dhcpd (At this point, logging is working fine)
3) `pkill -HUP syslog-ng` (This happens on the hour whenever logfiles
need rotating, but can also be effected manually)
4) dhcpd logging is now broken
5) Restart isc-dhcpd (logging works again)
My theory is that when isc-dhcpd starts, it gets an fd to the syslog
socket. When syslog-ng receives a HUP, that socket is reopened and
isc-dhcpd's fd is now broken.
Relevant options from rc.conf:
| syslogd_enable="NO"
| newsyslog_enable="NO"
| syslog_ng_enable="YES"
| dhcpd_enable="YES"
| dhcpd_flags="-q"
| dhcpd_conf="/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf"
| dhcpd_includedir="/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.d"
| dhcpd_withumask="022"
| dhcpd_chuser_enable="YES"
| dhcpd_withuser="dhcpd"
| dhcpd_withgroup="dhcpd"
| dhcpd_devfs_enable="YES"
| dhcpd_rootdir="/var/jails/dhcpd"
| dhcpd_chroot_enable="YES"
| dhcpd_ifaces="bge0"
My workaround:
For the hosts in question, I've added to the logrotate postrotate
script: `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd restart > /dev/null`
This workaround makes me a little uncomfortable, because these instances
of dhcpd are critical for thousands of end users.
Is this a bug? Is there a better workaround? Logging from all other
applications on the system is unaffected by the HUP to syslog-ng,
including two jailed instances of bind9 (syslog-ng on the host opens up
the socket /var/run/log inside those jails).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
