Subject: [syslog-ng]$HOST directories
Hello all yalls,
I've been beating my head against a wall for a couple hours here, but
have yet to figure out how to get syslog-ng to create my $HOST
directories, or to even use them when I create them manually.  When a
remote host sends it's syslog messages, they just end up in
/var/log/netlog/whatever.log.  There's no indication anywhere else in my
logs about improper permissions or anything of that sort.  I'm trying to
use version 1.6.0rc2 and libol-0.3.10.
If it's at all interesting, "uname -a" tells me:
Linux <my-secret-hostname> 2.4.20 #1 Wed Mar 26 11:34:49 MST 2003 i686
unknown
I've gone round and round with all the various dns/hostname related
options, to no avail.  Anyone have any Great Ideas?
Here's some snippets from my syslog-ng.conf file:
options {
        sync(0);
        time_reopen(10);
        log_fifo_size(100);
        keep_hostname (yes);
        dns_cache (yes);
        long_hostnames (yes);
        use_dns (yes);
        use_fqdn (yes);
        chain_hostnames (no);
        create_dirs (yes);
        owner (root);
        group (root);
        stats (600);
        perm (0660);
        dir_owner (root);
        dir_group (root);
        dir_perm (0770);
        use_time_recvd (yes);
};
<snip>
source net { tcp(); udp(); };
destination net_authlog   { file("/var/log/netlog/$HOST/auth.log"); };
destination net_userlog   { file("/var/log/netlog/$HOST/user.log"); };
destination net_bootlog   { file("/var/log/netlog/$HOST/boot.log"); };
destination net_errorlog  { file("/var/log/netlog/$HOST/errors.log"); };
destination net_cronlog   { file("/var/log/netlog/$HOST/cron.log"); };

destination net_wwwerrlog {

log { source(net); filter(f_authpriv); destination(net_authlog);   };

log { source(net); filter(f_messages); destination(net_messages);  };
log { source(net); filter(f_www); filter(f_info);
destination(net_wwwacclog); };
log { source(net); filter(f_www); filter(f_err); 
destination(net_wwwerrlog); };
