What permissions does the syslog user need to do so? It creates the files in the base log directory (/data/logs) - but it won't create the subfolders or the files that go there. I'm working now on re-ordering the log commands... strace <syslog-ng command line> right? On 9/26/06, Sandor Geller <wildy@balabit.hu> wrote:

No one with an idea of what might be going on here? I've reread most of the documentation for syslog-ng and can't figure it out...perhaps its an AIX/fs permissions issue?
Currently we are trying to track down a similar issue, but it might be unrelated. You aren't running syslog-ng as a superuser. Have you checked whether your syslog user has the needed permissions to create the files and open the pipes for writing?
Some kind of trace output (like strace on linux) would be appreciated.
