by Hi all.
I have a host whose *.* log messages are logged to another machine. I have an
entry in syslogd.conf like:
If loghost is down, it seems as if any process which uses the syslog() system
call blocks on its network transmission to loghost.
I thought syslogd used UDP and did not bother with reliability (eg. a log entry
is sent just once and if it does not arrive, then tough)
Is there anything I can do so that the machine's process table will not fill up
with blocking in.popd's and so on? The machine was at load 68.00 last night as
a result of this.
Thanks.
