Bill, So I can simply add this to my conf. file (modifying owner, group, perm, dir_perm of course) and it will start accepting logs from remote servers? Where do I specify which hosts to accept logs from (I'd prefer not to use tcp wrappers)? Thanks again, Ryan

I'm starting to understand the syntax. However, what part of this statement tells syslog-ng to create a file for each host its receiving logs from?
destination hosts { file("/var/syslog/HOSTS/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$HOST-$FACILITY-$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
owner(bob) group(llamafood) perm(0755) dir_perm(0755) create_dirs(yes));
If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. If the directory doesn't exist, you need the create_dirs directive. - billn
