Hello,
/dev/log has been moved to /var/run/syslog.socket (like /dev/printer was moved
to /var/run/printer long ago).
This way, diskless clients can share a read-only /dev now.
Upgrade procedure:
- "make build" all your system and reboot afterwards.
or
- If you need to run a partially rebuilt system:
use syslogd -p /dev/log -p /var/run/syslog.socket
E.g., in the file
/etc/rc.conf
change the line
--------------------------------------------------
syslogd=YES syslogd_flags=""
--------------------------------------------------
to
--------------------------------------------------
syslogd=YES syslogd_flags="-p /dev/log -p /var/run/syslog.socket"
--------------------------------------------------
Regards,
-is
