[-- Attachment #1 --] Howdy, I have an issue with syslogd that I'm not sure how to resolve. I'm running 5.0-CURRENT: I get this dmsg error: pid 207 (syslogd), uid 0; exited on signal 6 (core dumped). I have checked the Bug Tracking archives at www.au.freebsd.org and found nothing that talks about a broken syslogd. This is happening on 2 machines with the same 5.0-CURRENT snapshot, suggesting that syslogd is broken. Does anyone know about this ? (And yes I have scaled the mail archives of -CURRENT) If I start the syslogd from the shell I get this error: syslogd: cannot create /var/run/log: Invalid argument syslogd: child pid 516 exited with return code 1 Question: Where do I start to begin to solve this ? - Alex [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Howdy,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an issue with syslogd that I'm not sure how to resolve.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm running 5.0-CURRENT:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get this dmsg error:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pid 207 (syslogd), uid 0; exited on signal 6 (core dumped).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have checked the Bug Tracking archives at <A href="http://www.au.freebsd.org">www.au.freebsd.org</A>; and found nothing</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that talks about a broken syslogd.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is happening on 2 machines with the same 5.0-CURRENT snapshot, suggesting that syslogd is broken.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know about this ?
