Hi, today i had some free minutes was able to play around with syslog-ng the first time. First some experiences I made while installing syslog-ng: I downloaded the latest releases of libol and syslog-ng nd tried to compile them on my test-box (2.0.35, a SuSE 5.3 system). The configuration, making ant the installation of libol succeded without any problems. But when I used configure in the syslog-ng it was unable to find libol-config although it had detected libol (It displayed the correct version number). After adding the source-path of libol to $path I was was able to compile syslog-ng without any further errors. If this is the normal behaviour it might be a good idea to add a hint to the documentation. From this point on everything worked as expected. Thanks for this great product. Now, some questions: - In the sample config file in the debian/ subdirectory there is a line wich states that support for special files is not fully implemented. I am currently using the "old" syslog-package on one of my hosts to log data into a FIFO from which the data is fetched by a perl script, analysed and put into a database. Syslog-ng seems currently not be able to handle fifos correctly. When can we expect this to be implemented? - Is there a howto or a detailed description for writing additional (destination) drivers for syslog-ng? I have serveral ideas how to enhance syslog-ng by some new drivers (keywords: mail, program, mysql, lpr) and will maybe able to contribute. Stefan
