syslog-ng inside jail

[myha]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the syslog-ng inside a jail. On host system I use default syslogd.

When I try to start syslog I receive a following error:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslog-ng start
Starting syslog_ng.
io.c: bind_inet_socket() bind failed 10.x.x.51:514 Address already in use
Error initializing configuration, exiting.


I have also checked sockstat on host:
sockstat | grep -i 514
root syslogd 67540 6 udp4 10.x.x.50:514 *:*
root syslogd 67073 6 udp4 10.x.x.52:514 *:*
root syslogd 66888 6 udp4 10.x.x.3:514 *:*
root inetd 30034 6 tcp4 10.x.x.50:514 *:*
root devd 514 4 stream /var/run/devd.pipe


What am I missing?

thanks,
brm

Start the syslog on the host system with the -ss option. That will prevent it from listening on all network addresses.

Add to rc.conf:

syslogd_flags="-ss"


And restart syslogd.
