-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-1280 2008-02-05 23:12:47 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : syslog-ng Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.0.8 Release : 1.fc8 URL : http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog-ng/ Summary : Syslog replacement daemon Description : syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with new functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows messages only to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the possibility to filter based on message contents using regular expressions. The new configuration scheme is intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs over TCP and remembering all forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled environments.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Bugfixes: * Fixed a regression in 2.0.7 that caused destination files not tobe reopened when syslog-ng was reloaded. This causes potential problems with log rotation. * Fixed DNS cache size checking, persistent DNS cache entries were also counted against dns_cache_size() which might decrease cache space significantly when a large /etc/hosts file is in use. * Fixed a bug that caused the persistent DNS cache (e.g. /etc/hosts) to be reloaded for all name resolution requests. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
