Need to check that. Can't remember off-hand, why I chose --name intially. That said, I agree that gnu/hurd resp s-s-d on gnu/hurd should provide a reliable interface that behaves consistently across different architectures. > >>> Also the creation of xconsole is disabled, since it does not work yet. >> >> Why does it not work? > > If it does not work then there might be a problem with named pipes? Still waiting for an answer regarding this. What I know is, that kfreebsd doesn't support named pipes in /dev, so the rsyslog init script contains special case code for kbsd to create it in /var/run and a symlink in /dev. I'd like to get rid of arch specific code in the init script and instead move the pipe to /run/xconsole and create a symlink in /dev for backwards compat with existing tools. Would this work on hurd? (the alternative is to drop xconsole support completely. The value of that is questionable anyway) Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
