2006-08-23 08:56:21 Nikolaus Rath sysklogd: statusexplanation Very weird... I can confirm that login etc takes forever with -r, but it does not depend on the order of the parameters.

2008-08-12 20:38:56 Nikolaus Rath description I tried to get ubuntu (breezy&hoary) to do remote syslog logging from my ADSL router. I found that I needed to modify the line: SYSLOGD="-u syslog" in /etc/init.d/sysklogd However I found if I changed it to: SYSLOGD="-r -u syslog" then logins toke forever, and reboots or shutdown never finish. if I change it to SYSLOGD="-u syslog -r" everything works perfectly. The manual doesn't mention the order of the parameters is critical, and the problem of getting wrong is rather serious. Since it generally required me to turn of the computer at the wall switch, and then undo the change to /etc/init.d/sysklogd in recovery mode. I've no idea why the "-r" before the "-u" causes the slow logins and shutdown. I tried to get ubuntu (breezy&hoary) to do remote syslog logging from my ADSL router.
