Darkshadow,

In Panther I wrote a StartupItem for syslog-ng that had it “require” the Resolver, this worked fine for startup.  The thing is, syslog-ng doesn’t log at all in either of my Tiger installs. Ever.  Even when I start it up manually.  For example,

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslod.plist
syslog-ng -f /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf

And then it gets as far as creating that day’s logfile... But it stays empty and then polls for ever...

needs to start up after the network has come up in Tiger, otherwise it blocks and never recovers.
