Description jacob liberman 2003-11-26 21:16:28 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Description of problem:
Per netdump documentation, netdump should be able to start with only 
a SYSLOGADDR, and a NETDUMPADDR should not be required to log kernel 
oops to remote syslog server.

However, after spcifying remote SYSLOGADDR in /etc/sysconfig/netdump, 
netdump fails to start with error "Server address not specified 
in /etc/sysconfig/netdump" and netconsole driver cannot be manually 
loaded from command line. 

I believe the problem could be fixed if the /etc/rc.d/init.d/netdump 
did not fail after check for the NETDUMPADDR variable in all cases.

Please see bug 97663 for additional details.

Thanks, Jacob

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
netdump-0.6.10-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.echo "SYSLOGADDR=172.16.10.1" >> /etc/sysconfig/netdump
2.start syslogd on 172.16.10.1 with -r -x
3.service netdump start
