I recently installed syslog-ng successfully on a FC3-SELinux enabled box. Everything is fine except that:
# service syslog-ng status
syslog-ng dead but subsys locked
# ls --context /var/lock/subsys/syslog-ng
-rw------- root root root:object_r:var_lock_t syslog-ng
The root:object_r:var_lock_t should have been user_u:object_r:var_lock_t, and that is what is causing syslog-ng daemon to die. Also, the file permissions generally are 666.
One easy way is to switch off SELinux for syslog-ng, but is there a better way?? Why are the permissions wrong??

Check the context of the file the error is telling you that the file is in the root context and should be user_u. look at the command chcon to fix this. Zeb
