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. "/var/empty/dev/log" no longer default
Before version 8.2404.0-r1 there was an additional input socket in
"/var/empty/dev/log" (default chroot location) in 8.2404.0-r1 that socket
was removed from the default configuration. Users can enable that socket
if they need to on their own but it shouldn't be necessary when running new
versions of OpenSSH.
