issues with ulogd2
type: item
description: Hi, I am using an OpenVZ-based VPS service (running Debian 8 x86_64) and I have been trying to load the ulogd2 service, but it keeps giving problems. See this: # service ulogd2 status [FAIL] ulogd is not running ... failed! # service ulogd2 start [ ok ] Starting netfilter userspace log daemon: ulogd. # service ulogd2 status [FAIL] ulogd is not running ... failed! See the relevant content of daemon.log: Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: building new pluginstance stack: 'log1:NFLOG,base1:BASE,ifi1:IFINDEX,ip2str1:IP2STR,print1:PRINTPKT,emu1:LOGEMU' Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: forcing unbind of existing log handler for protocol 2 Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: forcing unbind of existing log handler for protocol 10 Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: forcing unbind of existing log handler for protocol 7 Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: unable to bind to log group 0 Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: error starting `log1' Dec 29 11:40:06 myserver ulogd[5604]: not even a single working plugin stack I thought this might be caused because group 0 could be in use by someone else, but I changed it in ulogd.conf to 1 (and then to 2) and when I tried to try to start the service again, the same thing happened. A few months back I had used another OpenVZ-based VPS service (from another provider) and there ulogd started just fine. You see, I like redirecting netfilter logs to a file so I can monitor in real time what is happening (using something like tail -f or multitail) and making security adjusments as needed. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
