Hi Gilbert,

Yup.

Yes. Make the following change to the 'configure' script in the
LDM source directory:
change (near line 5826):
if test -f /etc/syslog.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/etc/syslog.pid"
_ACEOF
elif test -f /var/run/syslog.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/var/run/syslog.pid"
_ACEOF
elif test -f /var/run/syslogd.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/var/run/syslogd.pid"
_ACEOF
fi
to:
if test -f /etc/syslog.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/etc/syslog.pid"
_ACEOF
elif test -f /var/run/syslog.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/var/run/syslog.pid"
_ACEOF
elif test -f /var/run/syslogd.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/var/run/syslogd.pid"
_ACEOF
elif test -f /var/run/rsyslogd.pid; then
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define SYSLOG_PIDFILE "/var/run/rsyslogd.pid"
_ACEOF
fi
After making the change, you will need to rebuild the LDM:
<while still in the LDM source directory>
-- modify 'configure' as per instruction aboe
make distclean
./configure
make
make install
sudo make install_setuids
If you havn't already done so, you need to make the same entries in
/etc/rsyslog.conf as you did in pre-Fedora 8 /etc/syslog.conf
Just so you know: the code mods needed for Fedora 8 have been folded
into an as yet unreleased version of the LDM. Steve will be making
a release of that new version in the not too distant future.
Cheers,
Tom
