I have an NFS share containing almost 500 chrooted (s)ftp user's home directories.
This NFS share is mounted on several FTP servers forming a highly available FTP cluster.
I would like to enable syslog logging on all the cluster nodes at the same time.
To do this, I need a dev/log socket in each user's home directory, and it seems that I need it to be different for each node.
Currently, only the node where the syslog daemon was first started perform any logging. I presume that is because the dev/log socket is in use when the other nodes try to connect to it with socket(2) or listen(2) or something like that.
So, I planned on creating an overlay directory structure on local disk on each server, containing just directories and the dev/log sockets.
Problem is, I'm on CentoOS 7, and aufs is not available.
Q: Is there a way I can have a separate /dev/log for each user directory (the sshd internal-sftp and vsftpd do their own chroot:ing) on each server? If so, can I do it without making a mount --bind for each user account, which would be my last resort?
(Specifying the path to the log socket in vsftpd and sshd would be an elegant solution, since I tell rsyslog where to listen and can easily change that).
