(RADIATOR) Problem with AuthLog SYSLOG?

[Mike McCauley]

Hello Eivind,

Thanks for reporting this.
It is due to the fact that on Solaris, syslog does not by default open a unix 
domain socket, and AuthLog SYSLOG by default tries to use unix domain 
sockets.

You can fix this by setting 
LogSock inet
in your AuthLog SYSLOG.

We see that the default behaviour of AuthLog SYSLOG is probably not 
appropriate for all platforms, so we have also now posted a patch so that the 
syslog socket type is left as the default (tcp, udp, unix, stream, console) 
unless LogSock is explicitly defined. This should prevent this error message 
occurring on Soalris in the future.

Thanks again for reporting this.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Cheers.
