#5 linuxrc-possible bug --- Syslogd
Hi,
First, let me state that I am a unix-newbie. (Sorry).
I can't seem to get Syslogd to automatically (upon boot)
point to my syslog server.
/linuxrc seems to look for /etc/tux/options/loghost
and if available.. appends a '-R ' and $loghost to the
syslogd execution.
My problem is that it never seems to work.
I ripped linuxrc apart and left the script concerning
Syslog only, so I could debug it.
When I change...
$REMOTELOG = '-R $LOGHOST'
to
REMOTELOG='-R $LOGHOST'
by removing the initial '$' and the spaces around the '=',
it seems to work.
However, I do not know how to add the 'linuxrc' file back
to the floppy.
I assume it is embeded in something like 'bizimage'
or 'initrd.gz'
and being a newbie... I don't have a clue.
Notes:
I do have /tux/options/loghost file on my floppy,
and it contains the IP address of my Syslog Server.
I am running floppy / net boot / 80rc2 image.
So. If you can lend a hand, I would appreciate it.
John.
