[syslog-ng] syslog-ng not opening file specified in source

Hi, I am using syslog-ng 2.0.10 on suse 10 sp2. my syslog-ng.conf file looks like this - source tcp_src { file("/tmp/log"); }; destination tcp_dest { tcp("<ip>" port(514)); }; log { source(tcp_src); destination(tcp_dest); }; i have given rw permissions to my file /tmp/log. I did strace syslog-ng -f syslog-ng.conf. Here is where it is failing - open("/tmp/log", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Vinay
