||||
On behalf of the beta-testers and other members of the Linux INTERNET
|
||||
community who have helped shape and debug this package I am pleased to
|
||||
announce version 1.3-pl3 of the sysklogd package.
|
||||
|
||||
This package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd daemon is
|
||||
an enhanced version of the standard Berkeley utility program. This
|
||||
daemon is responsible for providing logging of messages received from
|
||||
programs and facilities on the local host as well as from remote
|
||||
hosts. The klogd daemon listens to kernel message sources and is
|
||||
responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system
|
||||
messages. The klogd daemon can run as a client of syslogd or
|
||||
optionally as a standalone program.
|
||||
|
||||
This package is the culmination of about two years of experience and
|
||||
bug reports on the 1.2 version from both the INTERNET and our
|
||||
corporate Linux networks. The utilities in this package should provide
|
||||
VERY reliable system logging. Klogd and syslogd have both been stress
|
||||
tested in kernel development environments where literally hundreds of
|
||||
megabytes of kernel messages have been blasted through them. If either
|
||||
utility should fail I would appreciate a report and debug information
|
||||
so that the bug can be reproduced and squashed.
|
||||
|
||||
This package includes some major improvements. Some of them are listed
|
||||
here:
|
||||
|
||||
* klogd supports on-the-fly kernel address to symbol
|
||||
translations. This requires that a valid kernel symbol map be
|
||||
found at execution.
|
||||
|
||||
* klogd also supports debugging of protection faults which occur
|
||||
in kernel loadable modules.
|
||||
|
||||
* syslogd has better handling of remote logging capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
* both klogd and syslogd can be controlled through commandline
|
||||
options and signals.
|
||||
|
||||
* both daemons are now FSSTND conform.
|
||||
|
||||
* a syslog.conf(5) manpage is now available.
|
||||
|
||||
* Spaces are now accepted in the syslog configuration
|
||||
file. This should be a real crowd pleaser.
|
||||
|
||||
* Syslogd now uses dynamic allocation of logging output
|
||||
descriptors. There is no longer a static limit on the number
|
||||
of log destinations that can be defined.
|
||||
|
||||
* Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
|
||||
|
||||
The new release can be obtained from either tsx-11.mit.edu or
|
||||
sunsite.unc.edu.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks again to everyone who has contributed ideas, patches and bug
|
||||
reports. Linux has a superior set of logging utilities thanks to
|
||||
contributions from the entire community.

|

1.) READ the README.linux file and the accompanying man pages. It will
|
||||
save you some frustration.
|
||||
|
||||
2.) Edit the Makefile for your installation. NOTE that if you have not
|
||||
carried out step 1 you may make choices which could render your
|
||||
system and/or these utilities unusable. Compile the utilities.
|
||||
Compilation has been tested with versions 2.5.8, 2.6.3 and 2.7.0 of
|
||||
the gcc compiler and libc versions 4.5.26 and 4.6.27.
|
||||
|
||||
3.) For proper functioning both of these utilities are best run as root.
|
||||
This is probably not much of a problem since they will probably be
|
||||
started either by init or as part of the rc.* startup process. There
|
||||
may be security concerns with running syslogd as root. Please repeat
|
||||
step 1 if you are unsure of why this may be the case.
|
||||
|
||||
4.) If kernel address to symbol translation is desired there is the
|
||||
possibility that a new kernel will need to be compiled. The patches
|
||||
to delimit kernel addresses requiring translation were added to
|
||||
kernel 1.3.43. If this kernel or a newer kernel is used there is
|
||||
no need to modify the kernel sources.
|
||||
|
||||
If a kernel earlier than this is used the kernel sources will have to
|
||||
be patched. The patch to delimit addresses for translation is included
|
||||
with the sysklogd sources. The necessary modifications are quite
|
||||
generic and should require little modification over a wide range of
|
||||
kernel sources.

Version 1.3 Patch Level 3
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Update to documentation including klogd.8 manpage to reflect new features.
|
||||
|
||||
Included patch for modules-2.0.0 package to provide support for signalling
|
||||
klogd of changes in kernel module status.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Provided support for signalling klogd to reload static and kernel module
|
||||
symbol information via SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented -p switch to cause a reload of kernel module symbol information
|
||||
whenever a protection fault is detected.
|
||||
|
||||
Informative message is printed whenever klogd state change occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
Added -i and -I switches to signal the currently executing klogd daemon
|
||||
to reload symbold information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3 Patch Level 2
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Added oops.c and oops_test.c. Oops.c implements a kernel loadable module
|
||||
which will generate a general protection fault. The oops_test.c program
|
||||
generates a test program for exercising the loadable module.
|
||||
|
||||
syslogd ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Fixed bug resulting in file descriptors being orphaned when syslogd was
|
||||
initialized via signal handler.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Bug fix to prevent errors when reading symbol tables with 64 bit addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
Added support for debugging of protection faults occuring in kernel
|
||||
loadable modules.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3 Patch Level 1
|
||||
|
||||
General. ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Cleanups in the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
Patches to support compilation in the ALPHA environment. I have not
|
||||
been able to test these personally so if anyone has any feedback I
|
||||
would be interested in hearing from the Linux ALPHA community.
|
||||
|
||||
Spelling and grammar corrections in the man pages.
|
||||
|
||||
syslogd ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Patch to fix parsing of hostnames in syslogd.c.
|
||||
|
||||
The return value of gethostbyname is now properly checked. This should
|
||||
fix the problems with core dumps when name resolution failed.
|
||||
|
||||
Bounds error fixed when setting the file descriptors for UNIX domain
|
||||
sockets.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd ---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Error checking and reporting enhanced. I have a couple of reports
|
||||
that klogd is experiencing errors when reading the /proc filesystem.
|
||||
Any additional information would be appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
The sys_syslog function has been renamed to ksyslog. This was in a
|
||||
set patches for ALPHA support so I am assuming that this is necessary
|
||||
for that environment
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.3
|
||||
|
||||
Numerous changes, performance enhancements, code cleanups and bug fixes.
|
||||
Too many to individually summarize. Have a look at the top of each
|
||||
source file for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
** Default behavior of sysklogd is not to accept any message that
|
||||
is sent via syslog/udp. To allow remote reception add -r to the
|
||||
command-line arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
** Spaces are now accepted in the syslog configuration file. This
|
||||
should be a real crowd pleaser.
|
||||
|
||||
syslogd now uses dynamic allocation of logging output descriptors.
|
||||
There is no longer a static limit on the number of log destinations
|
||||
that can be defined.
|
||||
|
||||
klogd supports on-the-fly kernel address to symbol translations.
|
||||
This requires that a valid kernel symbol map be found at execution.
|
||||
|
||||
** The default level for console log messages was changed to 6. This
|
||||
means that kernel messages with a priority less than or equal to 5
|
||||
(KERN_NOTICE) will be logged to the console.
|
||||
|
||||
This item has been flagged because it results in a behavior
|
||||
change which will be different if version 1.3 replaces an
|
||||
existing 1.2 binary. Linus strongly suggested that this
|
||||
behavior be changed and in the 1.3.3x kernels Linus in fact
|
||||
made it impossible to set the console log level lower than
|
||||
about 5.
|
||||
|
||||
There were good reasons from his perspective for doing so.
|
||||
The most troublesome being that user's of packaged
|
||||
distributions were not able to generate register dumps with
|
||||
the kernel debugging keys, most notably altgr-SCRLCK.
|
||||
|
||||
If a kernels prior to 1.3.3x are being used the klogd daemon
|
||||
invocation must be changed to something like: klogd -c 1
|
||||
|
||||
This will turn off logging of kernel messages to the console.
|
||||
If you understand the ramifications of this the 1.3.3x kernels
|
||||
can be patched to allow the suppression of console log
|
||||
messages. It is important to be cognizant of the effects of
|
||||
these changes. None the least of which is that Linus and Alan
|
||||
will yell at you if you complain about not being able to
|
||||
generate kernel debugging information.. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Version 1.2
|
||||
Fixes to both klogd and syslogd so that the package will compile without
|
||||
errors due to the vararg procedures.
|
||||
|
||||
Modified pid files produced so that the names of the files are
|
||||
klogd.pid and syslogd.pid respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug in klogd which prevented output from being directed to a file
|
||||
when the program was compiled to auto-background itself. In the
|
||||
auto-backgrounding configuration the forked process was closing all its
|
||||
file descriptors which was causing the errant behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Modified signal handling in klogd so that all signal are set to ignored
|
||||
before establishing specific signal handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug in syslogd which was causing a delay in opening of the /dev/log
|
||||
UNIX domain socket. This should correct the race condition which was
|
||||
preventing klogd from properly logging kernel messages when the two
|
||||
daemons were started in rapid succession.
|
||||
|
||||
Modified the closing/opening of file descriptors when syslogd was
|
||||
compiled with auto-backgrounding support. Closes the potential for
|
||||
a somewhat obscure bug caused by the /dev/log socket being opened on
|
||||
fd 0.
|
||||
|
||||
Changed the names of the man pages from an extension of 1 to 8.
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Version 1.1
|
||||
Extensive changes and additional functionality added to klogd. Please
|
||||
see sources and man-pages for documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bugs in both syslogd and klogd with respect to fragmented
|
||||
message re-assembly. Bootup messages should now be display properly.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug in syslogd which prevented proper logging of messages with
|
||||
priority classes of none and emerg.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed bug which caused core dump when messages were logged to users.
|
||||
Also fixed bug with messages to login type of LOGIN.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed problem with zombies being left when messages were logged to
|
||||
multiple users.
|
||||
|
||||
Enhanced functionality of syslog_tst program.
|
||||
|
||||
Added man-pages.
