Syslogd keeps using old IP address after interface IP address change

[A Former User]

Found a small issue in pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3.

• Have syslog configured to send log messages using a particular LAN interface

• Check Diagnostics -> Sockets, you see the IP of that LAN interface there being used by syslogd

• Reconfigure LAN interface to another IP

• Check Diagnostics -> Sockets, nothing changed

• Check your syslog server, you still see loglines with the former IP there (several days after the IP change occured)

• Go to Status -> System Logs -> Settings, Click "save" there

• Check Diagnostics -> Sockets again, you see syslogd using the correct IP now

• Check your syslog server, you see loglines with the correct IP now

Open a bug report if you have not already: https://redmine.pfsense.org

That does look like syslog should be restarted when the interface is reconfigured.
