Simple question - which sys logger does unraid use?

[xamindar]

This is the one thing that doesn't work on my install. Could someone tell me which system logger unraid uses?

 

Thanks.

The unRAID 4.x and 5.x beta series are currently based off of a Slackware 12.2 distro with a slightly updated udev package from the Slackware 13.0 distro. So whichever syslog package Slackware 12.2 used is the version unRAID uses, which happens to be syslogd 1.4.1. You can find out for yourself by issuing "syslogd -version".

 

With that said, I have unRAID installed on top of a Slackware 13.2 (Current) 64bit distro that uses syslogd 1.5.0 and everything works perfectly fine for me.

Well, the reason I asked is because I am running unraid on top of arch linux and can't find out with "syslogd -version". Arch uses syslog-ng by default. Thanks for the reply and answer though. I did a little searching around and determined it wasn't syslog-ng or metalog, but wasn't sure if there were any others out there besides the normal old syslogd.

 

Up until now the only thing not working right on this install was logging and thought I would fix it today. I just ended up symlinking /var/log/everything/current to /var/log/syslog for now and that seems to work.

Ah yes, Slackware uses the syslogd/klogd variant.

 

Here's the Slackware 13.2 description file [sysklogd-1.5-x86_64-1.txt]:

 

sysklogd: sysklogd (Linux system logging utilities)

sysklogd:

sysklogd: Dr. Greg Wettstein and Stephen Tweedie's syslogd/klogd.

sysklogd:

sysklogd: This package contains a modified version of syslogd for the Linux

sysklogd: environment.  An additional utility, klogd, is included which allows

sysklogd: kernel logging to be directed through the syslogd facility.

sysklogd: Syslogd and klogd are started when your system boots.
