You need to investigate each issue separately. For example, the first error

Code:

auth|security:err|error sshd [pid]  error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

could be resolved by generating the ecdsa key...

Code:

ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N

however, did this always happen, did you upgrade ssh recently...there are a number of approaches and it's up to you to determine if you need to fix/work-around or understand the root cause. I suggest reviewing your /etc/syslog.conf and reducing levels of reporting to eliminate unnecessary reporting.

All of the slp (service location protocol...a framework) messages...are probably related to tivoli/systems director.

Code:

daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-059 [pid] Impossible to get local interface for distant address 10.x.x.x. errno = 22.
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-053 [pid] Function ID 107 is not supported.
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-065 [pid] Impossible to parse attribute (ca-uid=file:///var/opt/tivoli/ep/runtime/agent),(am-host=),(ca-ips=10.240.14.55),(ca-
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: [pid] decode_srvreg -- __srv_reg_local failed with rc = -2.
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-084 [pid] The SA failed to decode and compute received message: Parse Error (-2).
user:err|error syslog: slp_srvreg : SLPServiceListener fails with SLP error no = -20.
user:err|error syslog: slp_srvreg : All of 3 tries to launch the SLP service listener failed. slp_srvreg will exit.
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-089 [pid] No IPv6 interface recorded for remote IPv6 address ::1.
daemon:err|error syslog: slp: 0660-077 [pid] SLPServiceListener -- The SA failed to initialize its sockets: Network Initialisation Failed (-20).

The slp_srvreg daemon is used by IBM Systems Director. IBM Systems Director is an administrative tool used for cross platform monitoring and managing.
The platform_agent starts the slp daemon and cimservices. If Systems Director is installed you will have the following two processes running on the machine:

Code:

/opt/freeware/cimom/pegasus/bin/cimssys platform_agent 
/opt/freeware/cimom/pegasus/bin/cimssys cimsys

If you are not using IBM Systems Director (which is usually the case) you can do the following to stop the daemons and eliminate the unwanted messages.

Code:

  # cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.bak  # vi /etc/inittab

Comment out the following two lines with a colon.

Code:

:platform_agent:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -s platform_agent >/dev/null 2>&1  
:cimservices:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc -s cimsys >/dev/null 2>&1

Save the file.

Refresh the inittab file

Code:

 # telinit q  # stopsrc -s platform_agent # stopsrc -s cimsys

If you have slp_srvreg process running, kill process id if running.
The above steps should prevent slp from logging to syslog.

Code:

 # ps -ef |grep slp| grep -v grep
kill <pid>

detecting errors in writing to syslog

I am calling "void syslog(int, const char *, ...);" from my c++ application (definition taken from man page for syslog.h". Is there any way to detect that the syslog is not working, so that I can re-direct logging information to stderr? Thanks in advance. David
