Introduction

============



Since rsyslog version 7.6 we are shipping a new default Gentoo

configuration. See bug #501982 to learn more about what we were trying to

achieve by rewriting the entire configuration.





Important changes

=================



1. "/var/log/syslog" log file is now deprecated



   Beginning with rsyslog-7.6, the "/var/log/syslog" log file will no

   longer being written per default. We are considering this file as

   deprecated/obsolet for the typical user/system.

   The content from this log file is still availble through other

   (dedicated) log files, see

   

     - /var/log/cron.log

     - /var/log/daemon.log

     - /var/log/mail.log

     - /var/log/messages

   

   If you really need the old "/var/log/syslog" log file, all you have to

   do is uncommenting the corresponding configuration directive in

   "/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf".

   

   If you do so, don't forget to re-enable log rotation in

   "/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog", too.





2. An additional input socket in "/var/empty/dev/log" (default chroot

   location) will be created per default



   See bug #490744 for further details.
