I'm trying to get syslogd running so I can log printk output to /var/log/messages. I'm using a Busybox syslogd that was included in the ELDK 4.0 ramdisk image. When I try to start syslogd, I get the following error: syslogd: Couldn't get file descriptor for socket /dev/log: Function not implemented The file /dev/log didn't exist, so I tried to create it with the following command, but that doesn't seem to make a difference: mknod -m 660 /dev/log p I'm assuming that syslogd does a 'socket' call, which is returning ENOSYS. Any ideas about what is going on, or how I can get it working, would be appreciated.
