<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have since tried the syslog-ng 1.6.12
package from the HP-UX </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Porting and Archive Centre again. This
version is a little flaky </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(core dumps on SIGHUP or .conf syntax
errors) however when </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">configured correctly it does appear
to read the /dev/log device</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">with the correct padding. Therefore
it would appear to be more </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">recent enhancements that have changed
this behaviour - although</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I assume at least some people are running
syslog-ng v3 successfully </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">under HP-UX.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I tried to use gdb to determine whether
the padding value in the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">LogProto object had the expected value
of 2048, but... I'm not sure</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">that's the right variable to look at,
or even whether I'm doing it</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">correctly, being a gdb newbie.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is there any more information I can
provide or tests I can perform</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to help identify the cause, as I would
prefer to use a more recent</font>
