In v6n256, some possibly incorrect info was presented in regard to the syslogd bug fix: >From: dg-rtp!meissner@mcnc.org (Michael Meissner) >This is relayed from our Sunyvale people who helped Sun find it, but for >some reason, Sun isn't publishing it. >... >the patch: >Edit /etc/syslog.conf and enter the following line before the first >non-comment line, starting in column 1 (note the comma space): >define(LOGFILE, 1) >... According to page 3 of the SunOS 4.0 READ THIS FIRST, that should be define(LOGHOST, 1) Is there really a LOGFILE variable? If so, could somebody please clue us all in?

>Is there really a LOGFILE variable? If so, could somebody please clue us >all in? No, there isn't; LOGHOST is correct. Note the "ifdef(`LOGHOST', ...)" stuff in "/etc/syslog.conf". Yes, that really is "m4". "syslog" runs the configuration file through "m4"; it's supposed to define LOGHOST first, but apparently isn't doing so.
