I'm having to work-around a FIFO bug so, not too surprising something crops up.

So no other changes.

Status: offline 		Hi,
I have similar problem: at my hosts syslogd works only on domain controlers, but not on workstations/member servers. Syslogd version: 1.1.3.2
/etc/services: checked and converted
OS: XP Pro SP2 Polish/2003 Std English
firewals: none or wipfw.

When I try to start syslogd
/etc/init.d/syslog start
I receive syslog started message but nothing was happened - ps -eX unix show no syslogd process
When I try
/usr/sbin/syslogd - the same
I have no idea what should I do to force syslogd to run :(

When you start syslogd use the '-d' option (debug on; more
details on the man page). See what it shows. Post the results here
if that doesn't point to the problem.

Okay, so this is the answer as to why syslogd won't start.

> psxss.exe 1892 0.0.0.0 514 LISTEN UDP \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\psxss.exe
> why?

Because all of the Interix socket calls go through the Interix subsystem (PSXSS.EXE).
So there is another Interix program running that has 514/UDP.

Take another look at the process list and see if there is already another "syslogd" program running.
A "ps -A -Xunix" will show just the Interix processes (Active and zombies).
You should see that syslogd is already running and logging.
If not then something is odd and I'd just reboot the system. This should clear everything and
a syslogd should get started as part of the reboot.

hmmm... ok, I am tired a little bit... :)
On my XP everything works well, but on W2k3 something is going wrong, but I'll be back with this case later (now I lost connection with this machine)

Big thanks Rodney!

Status: offline 		syslogd uses the api getservbyname() to find this info.
It does not look directly at /etc/services.

The Interix getservbyname() api relys directly on the
WinSOCK getservbyname() api, which eventually uses
the file %windir%/system32/drivers/etc/services.

Status: offline 		But earlier Cthulhu said he is using syslogd 1.1.3.2 which is linked
with the newer BIND which uses it's own getservbyname(), not the Interix subsystem version.
And libbind does look at /etc/services. It shouldn't have a line ending problem (DOS vs Unix)
because that's been programmed into BIND to handle it.

Maybe some other invisible character is in the /etc/services file though?

The Interop pkgs are installing in /usr/local/bin, right ? (I sure hope so).

Did he? okay. Some confusion to sort out then.

> The Interop pkgs are installing in /usr/local/bin, right ? (I sure hope so).

The /Tools syslogd installs in /usr/local/sbin.

Cthulhu:
The startup script /etc/init.d/syslog should, after the /Tools syslogd is installed,
point at the /usr/local/sbin/syslogd binary.
Try starting "/usr/local/sbin/syslogd -d" to see what the output is.
