I have SuSE 10.0 installed on a IBM X330 (8654-51Y) eserver xseries with a dual Pentium III (x84) and a S3 Savage 4 video card.
You can explicitly set perms on files, syslog-ng sets more restrictive perms on file for security reasons - but you usually don't want device files changed from their defaults. Best answer: remove your destination and log clauses that reference the xconsole - you almost surely don't use it anyways. -- Nate "Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea; massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it." - Eugene Spafford.
