      Hi Team,

      I upgraded to 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)  a few days back, and ran into the problems described here:

      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7500

      I applied the fix described [ pkg-static update –f ; pkg-static upgrade –f ] and all seemed fine.

      Then I noticed that I wasn't getting any logs … reason being, syslogd was failing to start with the limit error mentioned above.

      Does anyone have any suggestions please?

      Thanks

      Chip.

        Guys,

        Solved this for myself.

        Even though dashboard said I was up to date, I wasn't.

        Running console update [option 13] did a kernel update and two reboots.

        After that, I was back in business.

        Hope that helps someone …

        Chip
