[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#410485: ltsp-server: remote syslogging on ltsp clients is broken

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 0.99debian11
Severity: important
Tags: patch

sysklogd and klogd are not in the whitelist of services to be run by
ltsp clients at boot, so they are disabled. yet ltsp clients are
configured to do remote syslogging by default, but because syslogd isn't
running, nothing gets logged to the servers. this is a feature used in
many ltsp environments...

simply adding sysklogd and klogd to the whitelist of services in
runlevel 2 should fix this problem:

might also be worth considering a patch to disable remote syslogging,
for environments where this is not desired...
