I'm running 5.0-CURRENT: I get this dmsg error: pid 207 (syslogd), uid 0; exited on signal 6 (core dumped). I have checked the Bug Tracking archives at www.au.freebsd.org and found = nothing that talks about a broken syslogd. This is happening on 2 machines with the same 5.0-CURRENT snapshot, = suggesting that syslogd is broken. Does anyone know about this ? (And yes I have scaled the mail archives = of -CURRENT) If I start the syslogd from the shell I get this error: syslogd: cannot create /var/run/log: Invalid argument syslogd: child pid 516 exited with return code 1 Question: Where do I start to begin to solve this ? - Alex=20 ------=_NextPart_000_001A_01C17062.4F31BC50 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Howdy,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have an issue with syslogd that I'm = not sure how=20 to resolve.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I'm running 5.0-CURRENT:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I get this dmsg error:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>pid 207 (syslogd), uid 0; exited on = signal 6 (core=20 dumped).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have checked the Bug Tracking = archives at <A=20 href=3D"http://www.au.freebsd.org">www.au.freebsd.org</A>; and found=20 nothing</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>that talks about a broken = syslogd.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This is happening on 2 machines with = the same=20 5.0-CURRENT snapshot, suggesting that syslogd is broken.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Does anyone know about this ?
