For now i've implemented your suggestion to not |listen for network connections by default. That is a good default i would say. |Have you tried getting the rotation stuff implemented upstream? Ach, sorry, my "bugfix" made things worse. But yes, i did, he is interested, but would like to have it differently. He would prefer a generic "notify HOOK" at top level, rather than a per-rule hook. I will (try to) do it today, after i have falsely claimed the option parsing was wrong, .. blush. In fact i suggested such a thing for busybox syslogd in 2016, hm. Let's see whether i can do that for sysklogd. I also just responded to his answer with another thought, since on IRC ][_R_][ said he needs YEAR/MONTH/DAY, i asked for the possibility to rotate all (configured) logs on signal, so with that and the "notify" hook even such a scenario should be handable easily. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
