sysklogd

ChangeLog for version 1.2

Releasedate: 1994-05-05

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.
