I noticed that the handbook makes no mention of the SYSLOG variable in rc.conf and that the release notes didn't mention that people should add that to their rc.conf, which means that if people update and don't add the SYSLOG variable, they'll have no logging. Perhaps you should put a quick mention of it in the release notes? :) -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc

Thanks for the pointer. Do you feel like contributing the paragraph to the handbook? :D I'm not sure whether we need an extra warning for upgrading users. rejmerge should take care of the diff in /etc/rc.conf, and we strongly recommend running rejmerge after an upgrade.

For the configuration variables section, I figure something like SYSLOG Specifies the system logging daemon(s) to run at startup. Example: SYSLOG=sysklogd should do, I don't have the ability to edit the handbook though, so I leave it to you or another person with that power to do. If there's anywhere else that needs to be edited, point me to it and I'll write up the bit for that too. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc

That should do it. I updated the handbook with that, thanks :) Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

That should be done during update by setup-helper, so no user action is required. See at the bottom of [1]. regards Juergen [1] http://crux.nu/gitweb/?p=system/iso.git;a=blob_plain;f=iso/bin/setup-helper;... -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

Yes, but not everyone runs that, however, tilman pointed out that rejmerge would find it, so assuming everyone runs rejmerge even after a non-CD update, it's no longer an issue (beyond the update to the handbook, which is already done). -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc

Sorry, I was unclear here. Setup-helper is a script called by setup in case the user select upgrade. The purpose is to handle stuff like package renames/injections and other things. For the 2.3 -> 2.4 update we added the action to insert the SYSLOG variable in /etc/rc.conf, if not defined. So, again, no user action is required after an upgrade to keep a working sysklogd. regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
