Hello, guys. I would like to forward the output of the emergency level log messages to the console of all users logged in. For that purpose, there exist the line

Code:
 
*.emerg       *
in the standard rsyslog.conf file. However, no emergency messages are sent to my console I asked some guys in the rsyslog-forum and the answer was that it has to have something to do with the priveleges dropping of rsyslog. There is a preveleges dropping of rsyslog indeed. In rsyslog.conf file I found the lines

Code:
 
$PrivDropToUser syslog
$PrivDropToGroup syslog
My question is now the following: Is that the reason for not sending the log messages to the console? Does the user "syslog" not possess apropriate rights for that purpose?
