Odd problem. I'm running CentOS 5.2. I compiled, installed, and setup the latest stable release (3.18.2) without issue. When the server boots, rsyslogd fails to start. An error is shown on the startup console as "/bin/bash line 1 xxxx segmentation fault" where xxxx is a number between 7360 and 7370. This only happens at boot. If I start rsyslogd using init after the system is up, it starts fine.

Thoughts???

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Hi,
I think there may be something wrong occurred while configuring and installing it. You just run ./configure and the remaining steps and reboot the system.

Let me know what is the result.

What command are you passing after boot to start rsyslogd?

If Prakash's suggestion doesn't correct the issue, can you post your init script, the output of "chkconfig --list ryslsog," and the output of "grep -i rsyslog /etc/rc.local?"

I'm leaning toward a system problem. I re-installed everything (OS + rsyslogd) in a VM with the exact same setup, and it works fine. I'll try re-installing first, and then start from scratch. Thanks all.
