Very weird. No, I did not try an absolute path - but I did notice the attempt to "cd /" in the truss output. In fact, it was immediately after that "cd /" test that things appeared to start not working - basically, elogd could not find anything.


The "cd /" is mandatory for daemons according to Unix standards. If a daemon gets started on an NFS subtree, that subtree cannot be unmounted anymore. Therefor it's required that all daemons cd to root, such that the NFS subtree can freely be mounted and unmounted. I therefore use absolute paths in all my statements of elogd.cfg.
