Details

Description:
ulogd package is unable to run after installation. There are two problems with the package:
1. The package is missing the mandatory configuration file: /etc/ulogd.conf
2. One dependency is missing: libnfnetlink

Upstream info suggests that libnfnetlink will become obsolete at some point in the future, but is still required as of now.


Additional info:
* package version(s):
2.0.0-3
* config and/or log files etc.:
Using the ulogd.conf.sample file included in the package leads to error messages like:
Thu Jul 19 11:23:30 2012 <7> ulogd.c:599 load_plugin: '/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_NFLOG.so': libnetfilter_log.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Steps to reproduce:
Install package and run 'ulogd -c /usr/share/ulogd/ulogd.conf.sample'
This task depends upon

It works without libnfnetlink, libnetfilter_log, libnetfilter_conntrack, libnetfilter_acct with attached config

Yes, config file is missing, but I don't want to suggest any default configuration with mandatory deps.

ulogd.conf changing is easy enough.
   ulogd.conf (0.3 KiB)

Thanks. This ulogd.conf solves the issues.

There's not much info (like a man page or wiki page) on how to configure ulogd. It would be useful to provide such a "minimal configuration" file in the package in order to be able to start the daemon after installation. More advanced options and plugins can be added by any user that needs more functionality.
