Hi,

I am trying to start syslog-ng as root but failed. The startup script is using daemon. I have tried also by issuing /sbin/syslog-ng but got nothing. I know it is better to run it with user privileges but this is to be able to log kernel messages file("proc/kmsg");

hmm.. I don't see why it failed, but I would certainly need some more information to be able to help you. The return code of the executable, an strace dump or something. -- Bazsi
