- 1.) READ the README.linux file. It may will save some frustration.
-
- 2.) Edit the Makefile for your installation. NOTE that if you have not
- carried out step 1 you may make choices which could render your
- system and/or these utilities unusable. Compile the utilities.
- Compilation has been tested with gcc 2.4.5 and libc 4.4.4.
-
- 3.) There is no default target for install in the Makefile. The location
- for system binaries seems to be in the process of evolution. The
- system administrator who chooses to use this package can probably best
- decide where to put the binaries for the log daemons. On our network
- they go in /etc. If /etc is not used for configuration files the
- syslogd.c source must be edited. If syslogd cannot find its
- configuration file it will die immediately.
-
- 4.) For proper functioning both of these utilities are best run as root.
- This is probably not much of a problem since they will probably be
- started either by init or as part of the rc.* startup process. There
- may be security concerns with running syslogd as root. Please repeat
- step 1 if you are unsure of why this may be the case.
