From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: The documentation at http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/setup.html says that "You can, if you wish, set up syslog only, and not netdump, by leaving NETDUMPADDR unset and setting only SYSLOGADDR.". This is desirable functionality which is unavailable because /etc/rc.d/init.d/netdump checks whether $NETDUMPADDR is set and exits with "Server address not specified in /etc/sysconfig/netdump" if it is not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netdump-0.6.10-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define SYSLOGADDR in /etc/sysconfig/netdump 2. Leave NETDUMPADDR undefined 3. service syslog start Actual Results: "Server address not specified in /etc/sysconfig/netdump" dumped to console. Expected Results: Syslogging to remote host on kernel oops. Additional info: An up to date list of NICs which support netdump would be very handy...
