Hello,

1) I've just added a section source  in my /etc/syslo-ng.conf . Le type =
de source is "hpux". its name is "vega" and ip address is : =
122.167.44.35.
    here is the line :=20
    source vega { pipe("/dev/log"); udp(ip(122.167.44.35) port(514));};
    I restart syslog-ng  and the result is :
    Starting system logger: ..............Changing permissions on =
special file /dev/log
    Error opening file /dev/log for reading (No such device or address)

    I've checked the permissions of the file /dev/log on vega : ls -l =
/dev/log return : prw-rw-rw root root.

2) I've just added a section source  in my /etc/syslo-ng.conf . Le type =
de source is "Linux". its name is "cerbere" and ip address is : =
129.175.64.20.
here is the line :
source cerbere { unix-stream("/dev/log"); udp(ip(129.175.64.20) =
port(514)); internal(); };
I restart syslog-ng  and the result is :
Starting system logger: ..............io.c: bind_inet_socket() bind =
failed 129.175.64.17:514 Cannot assign requested address
permissions is : srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root.

I' m wondering where is the problem.
If you've a bright idea...
