[Bug 570103] Re: rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

[Simon Déziel]

So the default file is effectively sourced but rsyslogd does not listen
on UDP 514 even when RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c2 -r".

To bind it to that port I had to uncomment the following in
/etc/rsyslogd.conf :

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerRun 514

And I left the default option RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c4".

Title:
  rsyslog still includes /etc/default/rsyslog, which isn't used

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “rsyslog” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  The package for rsyslog in Lucid still includes a /etc/default/rsyslog
  file. Since the migration to upstart, that file should be there,
  afaik. It's rather confusing for users to have that file, restart
  syslog and see that the changes aren't honored.

  Please remove /etc/default/rsyslog from the package, thanks!
