Brett Goulder [2007-09-03 15:46]: Hi Brett,
This causes my system to hang on boot when using sysklogd 1.5 for excessively long amounts of time to the point that it's faster to restart my system into a livecd and edit the init scripts to subvert the problem.
Attached is a workaround rc, which does klogd -c 4 & disown to subvert
Thanks for noticing, it doesn't even happen with my laptop. However, I'd like to NAK the patch for now. The release notes of sysklogd 1.5 say, among other things: "Improved daemonise routine in klogd to stabilise startup" which makes me think that something went really wrong there :) I'll try to figure out what's going on.
