* added new config option $InputUnixListenSocketCreatePathRainer Gerhards2009-09-041-2/+26
| | | | | | | to permit the auto-creation of pathes to additional log sockets. This turns out to be useful if they reside on temporary file systems and rsyslogd starts up before the daemons that create these sockets (rsyslogd always creates the socket itself if it does not exist).
* restructured rsyslog.conf documentationTom Bergfeld2008-10-311-0/+2

* added $InputUnixListenSocketHostName config directiveRainer Gerhards2008-08-011-6/+21
| | | | | | It permits to override the hostname being used on a local unix socket. This is useful for differentiating "hosts" running in several jails. Feature was suggested by David Darville, thanks for the suggestion.
* added capability to ignore client-provided timestamp on unix sockets andRainer Gerhards2008-03-061-0/+47
made this mode the default; this was needed, as some programs (e.g. sshd) log with inconsistent timezone information, what messes up the local logs (which by default don't even contain time zone information). This seems to be consistent with what sysklogd did for the past four years. Alternate behaviour may be desirable if gateway-like processes send messages via the local log slot - in this case, it can be enabled via the $InputUnixListenSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp and $SystemLogSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp config directives
