The Gibraltar project has released a bug fix update to their earlier version: "This minor update mostly solves the problem with syslog by switching back to old-style syslogd and klogd for the time being. Remove syslog-ng again in favor of sysklogd. syslog-ng still has some problems. However, the changes in the default logging configuration are kept and have been ported back to the old configuration file format. Only /var/log/syslog and /var/log/debug are now used by default, and they are rotated by size to keep /var from filling up. NAT Traversal for IPSec now works again due to kernel and freeswan patching." More in the changelog. Download: gibraltar-0.99.8a.iso.bz2 (107MB).
