UNIX HP-UX

Hi,

How do I convet /dev/log from a pipe to a socket. As of now its is a pipe.

bash-4.0$ ls -l /dev/log
prw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0 Jan 31 05:23 /dev/log

I need to have it as a socket.

Thanks

Stop your syslog daemon.
Delete the /dev/log using rm, then restart the syslog daemon.
That should create socket /dev/log

Its still creating as pipe after stopping syslog deamon. Should I change conf file?
