Description Mace Moneta 2007-11-22 17:25:54 UTC

Description of problem:

If rsyslog is started before the network comes up (for example, in a
NetworkManager environment), it will ignore $AllowedSender.  The rsyslog daemon
must be restarted after the network is active in order for $AllowedSender to be
honored.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rsyslog-1.19.10-1.fc8

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch from the network service to NetworkManager
2. Reboot.  Rsyslog starts before the network is active.
3. Try to send a message to rsyslog.  You will get:

rsyslogd:TCP message from disallowed sender <host> discarded
  
Actual results:

Message discarded

Expected results:

Message accepted and logged, once the network comes up.

Additional info: I've only tried this with TCP messages
