Hi Rune,

Sorry I didn't notice this note earlier... been on vacation for the
last week.  It sounds like you are running into the same issue I did
back in late June (see
http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users/msg01927.html).  I Sys::Syslog
v0.17 is out, but I believe it has the same issue.  You can revert
back to v0.15 with the following command under 'perl -MCPAN -e shell":

  install S/SA/SAPER/Sys-Syslog-0.15.tar.gz

It sounds like recent versions of Sys::Syslog have been causing issues
for a variety of applications, not just SmokePing.

Hope it's of some help.

Regards,
Kennedy
