Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsyslog-7.4.7-7.el7_0.x86_64 How reproducible: always
Reproduced. I've tried a variety of versions and the behavior is pretty inconsistent. - rsyslog-5.8.10-10.el6_6 old syntax - works as expected - rsyslog7-7.4.10-3.el6_6 old syntax - strange bug with mangled hostname new syntax - works as expected - rsyslog-7.4.7-6.el7.x86_64 old syntax - strange bug with mangled hostname new syntax - doesn't change hostname - rsyslog-7.4.10-3.fc20.x86_64 old syntax - doesn't change hostname new syntax - works as expected @QE: I guess it'd be good to test both syntaxes. Here are the respective configurations: --- 8< --- module(load="imuxsock" syssock.use="on" syssock.name="/tmp/rs.sock.sys") input(type="imuxsock" hostname="chroot" socket="/tmp/rs.sock.chroot") --- 8< --- $Modload imuxsock $SystemLogSocketName /tmp/rs.sock.sys $InputUnixListenSocketHostName chroot $AddUnixListenSocket /tmp/rs.sock.chroot --- 8< --- setenforce 0 systemctl restart rsyslog logger -du /tmp/rs.sock.chroot harharhar grep harharhar /var/log/messages
- rsyslog-8.8.0-3.fc23.x86_64 old syntax - strange bug with mangled hostname new syntax - works as expected This version even crashes during shutdown with the old syntax. We should fix this before it bites somebody.
