Hi, we have SER version 0.96 running on a debian system using mysql for user authentication. Everything works fine as long as we use the standard logging to /var/log/syslog. When we change the logging to use another syslog facility (e.g. log_facility=LOG_LOCAL0 in ser.cfg) all messages are written to the file specified in syslog.conf, but the users are not able to register to ser. It looks as if the db-connection to the mysql database is not available. Has anybody observed this behaviour and can provide a hint ? We appreciate any kind of help.
