Unresolved symbols (NOT A BUG)

Unresolved symbols (NOT A BUG)

[Sascha Andres]

hi,

i try to add syslog support into net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_LOG.c .
so i added  an include to sys/syslog.h and used the functions
in there.

i now get unresolved symbols for each function i use from syslog.h .

my question is, must i merge the whole syslog code to the kernel
for being able to use syslog in the above mentioned mod?

i added a 'firewall' facility to syslog and want all netfilter
logs coming throuh ipt_LOG log to this facility.

sorry if this sounds 'strange', but i'm relative new to the kernel
sources.

i started this cause i have not seen a possibility to log to
a specific facility with the klog daemon.

bye,

sascha

You know you could try to use ULOGD target. It's easier to hack that than
the kernel.

as far as I can see the patch simply adds code to the kernel.
perhaps I did not get the point. why it's easier?

for me as a beginner it's just the same prob. hacking it
would lead to unresolved symbols.

would it help to place syslog.h in linux include dir?
