dhcp logging doesn't work?

Kevin,

what should I say, you know that story about the left and the right hand when one does not know what the other is doing ?

When I check the sysconfig file for syslog, there is the following section in:

Code:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/syslog ... # If you don't want to let SuSEconfig generate your # syslog-ng configuration file, set this to "no". # # SuSEconfig is using a template configuration file # /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.in # you can adopt it to your needs instead... # SYSLOG_NG_CREATE_CONFIG="yes"

So as this is the default config, modifying the syslog-ng.conf is nice, but when the SuSEconfig ran the next time it will modify it using the template. I think there is at least a warning but not sure if yast in the graphical version will show you that.

Therefor I would say use the syslog-ng.in file to add the dhcp settings and run SuSEconfig or change the above settings to disable SuSEconfig doing that.

I will forward this notice to my Novell contact.
I think he loves to check those things.

Yes, my sysconfig file has that line in it as well about creating the code, but for some odd reason doesn't seem to work properly.

I checked my other server that has DHCP and there's a lot file, just that it's empty and the sysconfig stuff is missing (those 3 lines Novell mentions)

Looks like I need to adjust my instructions some more for some more post-cleanup.
