I have recently started using syslog-ng so that I can use stunnel to log to a central loghost.  I have gotten syslog-ng working on a linux box, and everything works fine, but my HP-UX boxes won’t even log locally, much less log to a loghost.  Below, I have included the syslog-ng.conf for one of the hosts.
