This is done by sysklogd in all cases. We plan to add this as an optional feature, but as of now every line is logged. + +ERRORS ON STARTUP + Error reporting on startup is not particular good. We handle all + errors correctly, but sometimes a message is only reported if + running in debug mode. If you experience some strange behaviour + I suggest to run the syslogd interactively with debugging enabled. + +VERY LARGE LOG FILES + We have done nothing to support log files larger than 2GB. As such, it + behaves just like sysklogd in this regard. And, as far as I recall, this + means that - at least with certain glibc versions - no more than 2GB + will be written. This will be checked and supported at a later time, for + now just be careful ;). + +EQUALLY-NAMED TEMPLATES + If multiple templates with the SAME name are created, all but the + first definition is IGNORED. So you can NOT (yet) replace a + template definition. + +MEMORY LEAK ON HUPING + Currently, the template memory is NOT freed when SIGHUP is received. + This causes a small memory leak on each HUP. Will be fixed soon and + should not cause real trouble unless you HUP syslogd quite frequently. + +Updates to the bug lists (and potential fixes...) can be found at the +official home page at + +http://www.monitorware.com/rsyslog + +List as of 2004-12-08 +Rainer Gerhards -- cgit
