Actually we run a medium log server, with a dozen of host logging on it via tcp. syslog-ng is 1.4.15, OS is Linux RedHat 7.2. We find some trouble in file creation: we want syslog-ng create files with an user, a group and a bitmask, but it fail in bitmap setting for some files and do it successfuly for other files.
I'd look at the umask for the syslog-ng process. When a file is created and tries to set certain perms, UNIX will only allow those perms if the umask allows it. -- You can have cheap, fast, or good: pick two.
