| Subject: | Should not require remote connections |
Installing Tie::Syslog fails if remote connections (syslogd -r) are not
enabled.
This is because they only attempt to connect to inet sockets. Many
Unix systems don't listen on inet sockets to avoid denial of
service/syslog spam attacks.
Tie::Syslog should work even if there is no syslogd inet listener, but
the installation tests don't allow for this case.
The install tests should also try a unix domain socket before giving up.
The tests should succeed if any listener is found. They might want to
report which are found.
This was found under perl 5.8.8, FC4, but the issue should be
independent of platform.
