IPv6-Capable syslog-ng
To enable remote syslogging to an IPv6 host, you will need to edit the new /etc/syslog-ng.conf file
and copy it to /boot/etc . At boot time, the presence of both the
syslog-ng
daemon and the boot/
etc/syslog-ng.conf file will cause the new IPv6-capable
syslog-ng
daemon to be started instead of
the previous
syslogd/klogd
pair of daemons. These two files remain on the system for backward
compatibility with customers’ existing /etc/syslog.conf setups, but they are not IPv6 capable. If you
are not currently directing your system logs to a remote host, or you are not using IPv6, then there is
little or need or benefit to changing to
syslog-ng
.
IPv4-Only Protocols
There are several protocols which are not IPv6 capable:
telnet
(client and server),
ftp
and
dhcpcd
. Due to their intrinsic insecurity,
telnet
and
ftp
are repidly being deprecated, and prob-
ably have little business running over an IPv6 network. The address autoconfiguration capabilities
of IPv6 make the DHCP protocol less important, however it is likely that the new
dhcpv6
capability
will appear in a future upgrade.
