| Subject: | LOG_UNIX to rsyslog requires SOCK_DGRAM |

| From: | Tim Esselens <tim.esselens [...] gmail.com> |
test: Log::Syslog::Fast->new(LOG_UNIX,'/dev/log',0,LOG_LOCAL0,LOG_INFO,'foo','logger')
env: centos 5.5, perl 5.5.8, rsyslogd 3.22.1
result: Error in ->new: Protocol wrong type for socket at file line nn
findings:
- rsyslogd uses (AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM)
- Sys::Syslog uses connect to check the socket and retries with SOCK_DGRAM:
socket(SYSLOG,AF_UNIX,SOCK_STREAM,0) || croak "socket: $!";
if (!connect(SYSLOG,$that)) {
socket(SYSLOG,AF_UNIX,SOCK_DGRAM,0) || croak "socket: $!";
