Hello, On friday I said about this problem already, but now I could captured some messages by rsyslog(it has other logfiles set manually than syslog-ng). So, syslog-ng sends the following messages upon its init: Mar 4 11:32:18 gabor-netbook supervise/syslog-ng[18834]: Daemon exited due to a deadlock/signal/failure, restarting; exitcode='11' Mar 4 11:32:19 gabor-netbook kernel: [ 3039.971733] syslog-ng[21594]: segfault at 8f95000 ip b74ce758 sp bfd86e88 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b73be000+153000] Do you know what the problem is? Maybe I should disable linux capabilities?(actually I am using linux mint, so it should work though) I'm using version 3.4 complied on my own, so there maybe some configuration issues. Thanks for your help, Gabor
