Hi Folks:

I've just installed 1.5.26 and for some reason I get the following errors Feb 4 12:23:01 host syslog-ng[15522]: Changing permissions on special file /dev/null

permissions are then listed as crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 Apr 11 2002 /dev/null

cronjobs that redirect output to dev null for ordinary admin accounts are failing because they no longer have permissions to write to /dev/null

When did syslog-ng start changing the permissions on /dev/null, so what release do I need to backpeddle to.

You need to modify your syslog-ng conf file to not use /dev/null as a destination. -- Nate Campi http://www.campin.net
