SyslogRD - odd error message was created by hornbyp
Has anyone else ever seen this :-




Nothing (related) has changed in my environment - that I'm aware of.

I've :-

  • Stopped and restarted SyslogRd

  • Disabled and re-enabled logging to disk.

  • Rebooted

  • Upgraded from V4.6.0 to V4.6.1



Syslog appears to still be working - and the message box is asynchronous, so sometimes there can be hundreds of them, one behind the other. (I have to click on the message and hold down the "ENTER" key to dismiss them; I would be there forever trying to click "OK" repeatedly).

(Why would anyone ever program an error message like that :?: :roll: )

To add ...

If I use netcat instead of SyslogRD
Code:
nc -l -p 514 -u

I get a stream of plausible looking messages from the various clients on the network.

If I then feed any of these back into SyslogRD, using
Code:
nc -u 127.0.0.1 514 "...message here..."

it appears to work as expected - and prints them on the correct 'tab'.

So it works fine - except when it doesn't :)
