https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293758 Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assignee|bugs@FreeBSD.org |markj@FreeBSD.org Status|New |Open --- Comment #4 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> --- Are you actually forwarding messages, i.e. accepting messages from other machines on a network socket and forwarding them to syslog.it.liu.se, or are you only sending your own messages there? If the former, you should explicitly specify which addresses you want to listen on; right now, syslogd thinks you want to receive messages on ::1, and those must be forwarded to an IPv6 destination. If the latter, you should use -ss to prevent listening on any network sockets at all. However, reading the code, I suspect this may cause syslogd to fail to create any outgoing sockets at all. I'm assigning this ticket to Mark Johnston, who is most likely to know how to handle it, but note that he is currently unavailable for the next several weeks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
