Re: hupsyslog(1) using killall(1) under SUSE (was: LDM-6.4.1 instalation)

Donna,

I know that the LDM works under RedHat Linux.  I don't know about
Mandriva.  Perhaps Tom or Mike does.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson

Hi Steve,

I will try the first option and I will let you know the outcome. If
things are not working out, I am considering the idea of changing SUZE
with another version of Linux. Do you know if Mandriva works ok with
LDM? Or Red Hat is a better option?

Thank you much for your help.
Donna

Donna,

OK.  We understand your problem.  There are, basically, two solutions:

    1.  Replace the use of syslog-ng(8) with syslogd(8); or

    2.  Rewrite the LDM package's configuration-script and LDM
        administration script to use syslog-ng(8) rather than
        syslogd(8).

The second solution will require work on your part and render your LDM
installation non-standard and, therefore, harder to support.

The first solution, on the other hand, should be easily accomplished via
a SUSE RPM for syslogd(8), which can be obtained from

 
http://search.novell.com/qfsearch/HighlightServlet?&query=syslogd+rpm&in
dex=Novell&bbindex=BestBets&lang=&encoding=iso-8859-1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fw
ww.novell.com%2Fproducts%2Flinuxpackages%2Fenterpriseserver%2FSP2%2Fi386
%2Fsyslogd.html

(or you might just go to "suse.com" and enter "syslogd rpm" in the
search box in the upper right corner.)

It might also be possible to use the yum(1) utility to install the
syslogd(8) package (we don't know because we don't use SUSE).

If you choose to go this route, then once you have the syslog daemon
installed and running, then you can configure and use it as documented
in the LDM web pages.

Steve Emmerson
