<br>
</tt>The third argument to afinet_sd_new is the port number, notice
the 601?<br>

afinet_sd_set_localip((*last_driver), $3); free($3); }<br>

afinet_sd_set_localip((*last_driver), $3); free($3); }<br>

<br>
See the KW_PORT? This tells it to change the port number of the
socket when it encounters port() in the config. Thus if it never
sees a KW_PORT, it never changes it from 601.<br>

<font color="#0041c2" size="3">The syslog-ng admin guide for 3.2
says the
default port for syslog() sources is 514. This isnt the observed
behavior.
When a syslog() source is configured without specifying the
port, it listens
