syslog ng dies

[zulfi]

I have installed syslog_ng-1.6.11 on HP itanium platform rx2620 11.23 v2 -
"http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/syslog_ng-1.6.11/"

Each time a connection is made from a remote server the syslog-ng process dies.

Tried using syslog-ng v 2.0.5 from balabit but get as far as the make stage and it falls over.

Note that syslog-ng is bundled as part
of HP-UX 11iv2 starting from the Dec-05
update. You can configure it manually
or use the clog_wizard to get a standard/basic
configuration running quickly.

The latest documentation is here:

TCP or UDP clients? Is it crashing (is there a core file?) or just exiting? Anything in the log file?

In any case, with the Porting and Archive Center binary you are on your own. The bundled version (1.6.8) is the one supported by HP.

Usually this is just a matter of making sure you have the appropriate GNU tools installed. I haven't tried V2.x yet personally. I've seen other folks ask about building on HP-UX and bablabit has made bug fixes for builds. You can check the syslog-ng mailing list for details.
