Thought I might add that I can get very large files as well. Well in excess of 100 MB. I don't think syslog-ng is limiting the log size. I'm running on a Solaris 2.7 box and I have very few problems with syslog-ng. Drew

Just as I'm leaving, I noticed this on my loghost at work (redhat 6.2, UDP logging for around 50 hosts):
Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: syslog-ng version 1.4.4 starting Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: syslog-ng startup succeeded Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: klogd startup succeeded Sep 5 18:13:06 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: io.c: do_write: write() failed (errno 27), File too large
Obviously I need to rotate the logs more often on that host, but were you aware that there is a limit to the file sizes syslog-ng could write to?
# ls -al /var/log/messages -rw----r-- 1 root root 9048923 Sep 5 18:15 messages
Ok, that's a huge logfile, but I just wanted to post that here in case it's relevant.
