Re: fifo log problem

I tried changing the config so that there is only the fifo log being
written to and disabled newsyslog so that syslogd is not getting a
HUP signal. The strange thing is that reading from it gives
different results?!?

Sometimes doing
[ps0278]# fifolog_reader all.fifo | wc
From 0 Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969
To 1225760679 Mon Nov 3 20:04:39 2008
Read from 1d800
59 413 3068
0[ps0278]#

and a exactly for 1min it will show the correct results

0[ps0278]# fifolog_reader all.fifo | wc
From 0 Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969
To 1225760538 Mon Nov 3 20:02:18 2008
Read from 0

I could fear that you have two fifologs running at the same time,
possibly as a result of syslogd doing something strange on sighup...
