Syslog doesn't start (limits:setrlimit kqueues: Invalid argument)

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 …
