Bug#502305: Temporary packages for ulogd2 : Configuration changes
Hi.
Further to my previous email, I've now installed the newly built package
and here are some observations.
There is a lack of documentation in the built package.
If the build also formatted the doc/ulogd.sgml file in the source area
into txt and html files to be installed under the /usr/share/doc/ulogd/
directory, then there will be a lot more useful information on how to
configure the new ulogd daemon.
I made the following changes to the /etc/ulogd.conf file.
Take and leave each of them as you like.
I've attached the patch that makes all of these changes to the final
installed configuration file.
- I've made changes to produce logs in the /var/log/ulogd/ directory
like the old ulogd v1.23 did.
This way users upgrading from the old ulogd to the new ulogd will still
find the files in the same location as before.
Likewise I adjusted log file names to match what they were before
(removed leading ulogd_)
If the package doesn't create the /var/log/ulogd/ directory as part of
its install, then it would need to be modified to do this as well.
- I changed the log level to notice. I guess you can ignore this, but
I've left it in the patch.
- I've enabled the ULOG support. This way, people upgrading from the old
ulogd daemon to the new one will still have their logging working. This
will give them a chance to transition over from ULOG to NFLOG at their
convenience.
- There was no XML output plugin built with the package.
So I've commented that plugin out to remove the error message about it
not being found.
I guess the other approach is to get the package to build that plugin if
possible.
- I added commented out plugin entries for the SQLITE3 output plugin,
and the PWSNIFF filter plugin (which maybe you don't want to include).
- Added a [sqlite3] section for the SQLITE3 plugin to match the example
for SQLLITE3 on the old version of ulogd.
