After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any approach you can take away me from that service? Thanks!

The choice not to alter the syslog format was interfere with other logging, as logwatch, or other things may be in place.

The perl script was run on the logs to change them to common log file format, I wrapped this into a logrotate script, which also dthe compress a required.

The hard link (not a sym link) allows the client FTP service which is chrooted to the users FTP directory to be able to log – yes each user has it’s own chrooted jail – hence we’d need a logger per user, and on the system in question this would exceed 500. When chrooted, the processes root file system is the users FTP directory, hence no /dev/log device exists. A hard link points directly to the inode, so allows a shared log device. The snag with sys log is it creates a new file on startup, so I added a script which following syslog start recreates all the users logger hardlinks. Oddly when syslog creates the new file, all the clients /dev/log files point to same file, which is not the syslog one.

Since the ftp location is on a separate partition to /dev, syslog needed changing, if on the same this need not happen.

The design for your web site is a little bit off in Epiphany. Nevertheless I like your blog. I might have to use a “normal” web browser just to enjoy it.

As for logging, I don’t understand why you create a symbolic link when it works well without it (just working with $AddUnixListenSocket /chroot/testuser1/dev/log) but on this part I’m not quite sure because all my users are chrooted to the same path (no separate folder for each user).

As for the logging format, first I don’t know what to do with your perl script :-/
Unless it is supposed to be runned separately (or with a cron task), I don’t see how to embed it in the process.
So I searched some way further and found that there is no need for such a script if its main purpose is to guess the year.

Indeed it’s possible to change the time format in the logs :
just go to “/etc/rsyslog.conf” and change the “$ActionFileDefaultTemplate” from “RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat” to an other format (“RSYSLOG_FileFormat” for example which also add the time zone information).

Still thank you for your tuto which was very useful.

As a reference count is kept, I’ll have to create a script to recrete the link to the other files, which itself is a group of hard linked files!.

Not so easy – I’ll look into this….
