Hi,

This issue is that if someone looks at a log file generated by syslog-ng with vi, and then “accidentally” writes and saves the file, subsequent writes to the file by syslog-ng don’t appear to work.  If syslog-ng closes the file (which happens if it is “idle” for a configurable period, whose default is 1 minute), and then re-opens it when it next needs to write, the writes succeed. Similarly, “service syslog-ng reload” (or restart) will clear the problem.

Anyone experienced the similar problem?

Thanks
Xuan
