Changing Syslogd
3 September, 2013 - 10:42
Is there any way to make a permanent change to /etc/init.d/syslogd (it seems to be on the read only file system) ?
I want to change the destination to my syslog server (rather than default 192.168.1.254), so I know the change that is needed is to add -L -R 192.168.1.1.
Thanks
The /etc directory is read-write so delete the linkage and copy in the file its pointing to modify it as you wish.
# ls -l /etc/init.d/syslogd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jan 1 1970 /etc/init.d/syslogd -> /etc_ro_fs/init.d/syslogd
