This code is currently defunct. +No matter if -h is specified or not, messages are ALWAYS forwarded. It is +currently under review if the sysklogd's functionality is actually needed. +Please see my +<a href="http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2007/07/on-syslogd-h-option.html">blog +post on this topic</a> for futher detail.</p> +<h2>EQUALLY-NAMED TEMPLATES</h2> +<p>If multiple templates with the SAME name are created, all but the + first definition is IGNORED. So you can NOT (yet) replace a + template definition. I also strongly doubt I will ever support this, because +it does not make an awful lot of sense (after all, why not use two template +names...).</p> +<h2>WALLMSG FORMAT (* selector) + </h2> +<p>This format is actually not 100% compatible with stock syslogd - the + date is missing. Will be fixed soon and can also be fixed just via + the proper template. Anyone up for this? ;)</p> +<h2>SIGPIPE HANDLING</h2> +<p>Currently, SIGPIPE is ignored. This is necessary to handle broken TCP + connections. We should further look into this issue and see which other + ways exist to handle the situation.</p> +<h2>MULTIPLE INSTANCES</h2> +<p>If multiple instances are running on a single machine, the one with + the -r switch must start first. Also, UDP-based syslog forwarding between the +instances does not work. Use TCP instead.</p> + +</body> +</html> |
