Is it just me or does 'syslogd -s' exhibit just a little bit too much paranoia about allowing socket connections? I was futzing with a Perl script that needed to syslog(3) some stuff and after much hair pulling I realized that 'syslogd -s' didn't even allow connections from localhost. Apparently Perl opens a socket connection to syslog and with the '-s' syslogd doesn't read from socket connections either from localhost or from hosts specified with -a. This is a bad thing IMHO. Either I open syslogd up to all socket connections (including from localhost) or I can't use syslog from Perl. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
