Hi
I solved the problem of the delay: syslog-ng wasn't delaying messages to the files. He was ignoring them alltogether. Syslog-ng did this because the name in the DNS (and the filter) was different than the hostname displayed in the syslog message itself. After I changed the DNS names to match the name appearing in the syslog message the problem vanished. Now messages are written according the sync drictive (i.e immediately :-)).
I apologize for the head aches and wasted brain waves I caused because being a green newbie (bad newbie, bad, bad .... ;-))
Thanks for letting us know and no problem being a newbie it happens at least once to everyone. :) -- Bazsi
