Hello,
I've been trying to get syslogd on my Mac to log to our remote log server (running syslogd-ng). When adding the this line to my /etc/syslogd.conf file, syslogd completely stops logging at reboot
*.info @mylogserver.com
When I find out the PID for syslogd, kill it and manually launch syslogd using "syslogd -s -m 0" (which is what ps shows it was launched as), it starts to work (both locally and remotely).
I'm guessing this is a race condition. syslogd is trying to log before the network or lookupd can work, and crashing. Any idea of how to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Allan
