16:58.15DeTToXhi guys, i'm trying to enable remote logging on my router with busybox
16:59.08DeTToXi can see the syslogd process, but how to check if it's compiled with remote support?
16:59.14DeTToXthx

17:45.58DeTToXhi wmat
17:46.20wmatDeTToX: I think you either have to manually start syslogd for remote logging, or you have to add a setting to syslog.conf to automate at startup
17:47.08DeTToXreading the busybox manual the version of syslogd ignore syslog.conf
17:47.30wmatDeTToX: the manpage for syslogd has a whole section on remote logging
17:47.37DeTToXi can see syslogd running with the options "-C -l 3"
17:47.53wmatit needs to be started with -r
17:48.20DeTToXyes i don't want how to add the "-R my_pc" to the syslogd command in the router
17:49.04wmathttp://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?syslogd+8
17:49.13wmatsee the Support for Remote Logging section
17:49.57DeTToXi'm reading http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html
17:50.09DeTToXthe man page of syslogd on busybox
17:50.46wmatthere were some bugs out there recently for bsybox's syslog remote logging as well
17:51.55DeTToXi hope this is not the case
17:52.17DeTToXbut i cant find where busybox launch the syslogd daemon
17:52.25DeTToXso i can add the remote option
17:54.40wmatthere should be a startup script in /etc/init.d/sysklogd or something similar

17:56.03DeTToXjust now i started syslogd with the remote option after killed the old one and it's running
17:56.38DeTToXin init.d i can read only the file rcS
17:56.57DeTToXand it load the PATH and mount the devices
17:57.13DeTToXbut don't start any app
17:58.10*** join/#elinux flavior (n=avaty@189.71.66.144)
18:02.51wmatdo a find for sysklogd
18:03.27wmator fix syslog to read syslog.conf and add -r to it
18:08.01DeTToXi haven't the find command on the router so i'm searching manually
18:10.21wmatwhat's the router running?
18:10.56DeTToXthe router is running busybox version 1.0
18:10.59wmattry /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd
18:12.02DeTToXnone rc.d dir :(
18:17.07mnemoc/etc/init.d/ or /sbin/init.d
18:19.34*** join/#elinux pb___ (n=pb@79-79-208-205.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
18:19.48DeTToXnone init.d in sbin  
18:20.05DeTToXbut in /sbin i can see syslogd linked to /bin/busybox
18:20.22DeTToXsyslogd built in?
18:25.06wmatDeTToX: syslogd starts when you reboot right, it just doesn't start with remote logging?
18:26.00DeTToXno it don't start with remote logging only local on the router
18:26.36DeTToXand i cant configure it on the http interface
18:39.01DeTToXcool it works! :)
18:39.23DeTToXif i run syslogd with the remote option i receive the logs on my pc
18:39.23DeTToX( IM acronyms: http://textbon.com/?id=pc )
18:39.43DeTToXso syslogd on the router support remote logging
18:40.13DeTToXi have only to modify the commands options at startup
18:42.39wmatwhat is that textbon link you posted?  I only see some acronym finder thing.
18:43.16DeTToXsry :)
18:43.34DeTToXthe textbon plugin  
18:43.50wmatplugin for what?
18:44.02DeTToXdisabled it
18:44.38DeTToXit translate acronyms

18:45.47DeTToXbut i didn't think that it was running ads on remote too
18:45.57DeTToXthx for the advise
18:46.37wmatno problem
18:47.11DeTToXreally strange i cant find a boot script for syslogd
18:47.30DeTToXbut in the file psi.xml i can read the syslogd options
18:47.53DeTToX<sysLog state="enable" displayLevel="ERR" logLevel="ERR" option="local" serverIP="0.0.0.0" serverPort="514"/>
18:53.33wmatDeTToX: I asked the big brains in #edev if they know
18:53.52DeTToXoh thanks
18:59.59*** join/#elinux pleemans (n=toi@d54C2AAB7.access.telenet.be)
19:02.06wmatDeTToX: is there a /etc/inittab with a syslogd line in it?
19:03.03DeTToXinittab exist but with none syslogd line
19:05.10wmattry adding:  ::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -R <your host>

19:05.19*** join/#elinux Dr_Who (n=tgall@gentoo/developer/dr-who)
19:05.40wmatif you wish to retain local logging as well, add -L before -R too
19:06.17DeTToXthe command i'm running is: syslogd -C -l 3 -L -R 192.168.1.11:514
19:06.35wmatok, so add to inittab
19:06.37DeTToXits logging only remote
19:07.12wmat::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -C -l 3 -L -R 192.168.1.11:514
19:10.01DeTToXbut in this way i have two running syslogd at startup?
19:13.56*** join/#elinux booxter (n=booxter@night02.sml.by)
19:14.50wmatrespawn restarts it, I believe
19:15.49hukoleleis there any way to change the directory in which the loader looks for dynamic libraries?
19:16.09hukolelethe problem is that in the box i have, /lib is read only :S
19:25.18wmathukolele: the list of directories the loader searches is in /etc/ld.so.conf; that is if I understand your questions correctly
19:27.11DeTToXwmnat: i cant edit inittab
19:29.17hukolelethx vmat, i guess, it worked if /etc were writeable too :S
19:31.23hukolelewhat the heck, what kind of configurable box is supposed to have an /etc read only!!
19:31.31HcElol
19:31.35wmatDeTToX: I'm out of guesses
19:32.06DeTToX:)
19:32.37wmatDeTToX: try posting to the busybox mailing list
19:34.09DeTToXi will post but maybe the psi.xml is the key
19:34.25DeTToXin the html interface i can save and restore my prefs
19:35.08DeTToXin this prefs i can read the line "<sysLog ...>" with some options
19:35.26DeTToXbut the interface don't let me configure
19:35.51DeTToXi will try to edit the file manually and then restore the prefs
20:00.10*** join/#elinux DeTToX (n=DeTToX@unaffiliated/dettox)
20:01.08DeTToXwmat, the tweak works :)
20:01.51DeTToXwas logged the boot process too
20:02.20DeTToXonly that in this way i have no local log only remote

20:04.44wmatDeTToX: tweaking psi.xml worked?
20:04.52DeTToXyes
20:05.05DeTToXchanged from local-->remote
20:05.15DeTToXand editing the server ip
20:05.41DeTToXi have another hidden feature
20:06.02DeTToXin the psi.xml i can enable "snmp"
20:06.16wmatso what is psi.xml exactly?
20:06.22DeTToXi'm reading about but i cant understand very well what does!
20:06.54DeTToXfor my router is the file where it store the user configuration
20:07.19DeTToXconfigurable with the http interface
20:07.45*** join/#elinux visitors{a} (n=pulstar@198-tar-2.acn.waw.pl)
20:07.56DeTToXbut the http interface haven't options to log remote
20:09.32wmatodd
20:10.32DeTToXsry, when i typed that i dont understand about
20:10.49DeTToXi meanig the other hidden feature "snmp"
20:14.10DeTToXoops
20:14.30DeTToXits SNMP not SMTP
20:14.33DeTToX:D
20:14.53DeTToXnone other hidden feature then
20:41.18wmat<PROTECTED>
20:41.21wmat15:37 < mgsnr> i've tested the networking stuff and it works too
20:41.24wmat15:37 < mgsnr> -R HOST[:PORT] works
20:41.26wmatDeTToX: that was for you
20:41.28wmat15:37 < mgsnr> use -L to log locally and a network host
20:41.30wmat15:37 < mgsnr> #uclibc is where the busybox guys hang out
20:43.04DeTToXwmat, thx again
