I've been trying to get syslogd on my Mac to log to our remote log
server (running syslogd-ng). When adding the this line to my
/etc/syslogd.conf file, syslogd completely stops logging at reboot
*.info @mylogserver.lanl.gov
When I find out the PID for syslogd, kill it and manually launch
syslogd using "syslogd -s -m 0" (which is what ps shows it was launched
as), it starts to work (both locally and remotely).
I'm guessing this is a race condition. syslogd is trying to log before
the network or lookupd can work, and crashing. Any idea of how to
resolve this problem?
