option, it does not complain, but if I run syslog-ng, it does not log messages
from this source. i.e., it fails to log messages from this source. Should I
file this as a bug in syslog-ng? The duplicate definition is probably a
msitake and definitely not needed, and after removing the duplicate definition,
everything works fine. Just wondering why double definition fails, though.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
