Where is syslogd file

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 10.04 server 64-bit

I was following;
The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server) - Page 4
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p4

to set up the server on Ubuntu 10.04 and encountered problem on editing /etc/default/syslogd

Code:

# Top configuration file for syslogd
# Full documentation of possible arguments are found in the manpage
# syslogd(8).
#
# For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r"
#
SYSLOGD="-a /var/lib/named/dev/log"

I couldn't find syslogd.

Please advise which file shall I edit? TIA

/var/log/syslog

 

Sorry /var/log/syslog is the log file NOT the configure file.

I wonder whether the process has been changed on this version of Ubuntu 10.04 OR the file has been re-named

$ man syslogd

Code:

No manual entry for syslogd

I found;

$ cat /etc/default/rsyslog

Code:

# Options for rsyslogd
# -m 0 disables 'MARK' messages (deprecated, only used in compat mode < 3)
# -r enables logging from remote machines (deprecated, only used in compat mode < 3)
# -x disables DNS lookups on messages received with -r
# -c compatibility mode
# See rsyslogd(8) for more details
RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c4"

How to configure it? TIA

Try what is explained in chapter 13 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-2-p4

 

Hi falko,

Thanks for your advice.

Performed following steps after stopping bind9:-

$ sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.d/bind-chroot.conf
adding following line on it;
$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/named/dev/log

$ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/bind-chroot.conf

Code:

$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/named/dev/log

$ sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

Code:

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service rsyslog restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart rsyslog
rsyslog start/running, process 1622

$ sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start

Code:

 * Starting domain name service... bind9                                 [ OK ] 

Should I missed any step, please correct me. TIA
