Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all. I installed 2.2.7 on a HP Netserver E30 P5/166 without any trouble (I've done it many times on machines of the same kind) to replace an old 486/66 with 2.2.5. The system is our internal SMTP/DNS/PPP and fax server. I use also Samba, NFS and other applications/services. The fax server is a mail gateway written by myself, based on the last version of mgetty+sendfax, ghostscript and mpack. There is also a front-end for a Windows application which prints on Samba in PS and the PS source is delivered to a message-builder daemon via pseudo-terminals (I did it for trial). As you can see the configuration is at least a little bit complex, but everything worked pretty well with 2.2.5 for months. With 2.2.7 I've got a strange problem which I'm unable to solve: the fax server logs everything with syslog, INFO and ERR levels, default USER facility. I use the log for statistical purposes. The problem is that since I moved on the new 2.2.7 box, sometimes syslog works and sometimes don't. Often syslog doesn't work in the morning, before 10:40-11:10 AM (!?), but I can't see a definite rule. I tried to change facility to LOCAL0/1/etc, but it doesn't matter. Of course newsyslog isn't involved and there aren't processes ran by CRON that clear the log. Any ideas? --- Stefano Riva Software & Systems Engineer Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
