Hi,
I've been working on integrating rsyslog into a FreeBSD environment, and the
following issues and questions have come up along the way:
1. The security facility isn't deprecated in FreeBSD, and I've noticed that
this is aliased to the auth facility in rsyslog. I have make a quick patch
for this on FreeBSD in order to log to the security facility again, and
added the ntp facility (also supported). These changes may be more suitable
for the FreeBSD ports tree.
2. The other FreeBSD facility in use is console, which logs all writes to
/dev/console to the console log facility. I'm not sure how important this
feature is, and it's certainly something I can live without, but it doesn't
seem supported in rsyslog.
3. FreeBSD syslog reads from two sockets, /var/run/log and /var/run/logpriv.
I was curious about support for /var/run/logpriv, however I can't find a
great deal of information about how and where this socket is used - other
than for privileged applications.
4. Finding the equivalent to the syslogd -b flag, to bind to a specific IP
address is probably at the top of my list right now. Is there any feature to
achieve this that I'm missing?
Any thoughts, suggestions and discussion welcome.
Dan.
