<para>Sysklogd has issues with the Linux 2.6 kernel series - fix these isues
|
|
by applying the following patch:</para>

|
|
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../sysklogd-&sysklogd-version;-kernel_headers-1.patch</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>There is also a race condition in the signal handling logic, and this
|
|
sometimes confuses the <command>sysklogd</command> initscript.
|
|
Fix this bug by applying another patch:</para>
