Hi, Building syslog-ng from source posed a few problems, one of them being debian/syslog-ng.init that missed a crucial option: It's function syslogng_start() in Git currently says: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec "$SYSLOGNG" --pidfile "$PIDFILE" -- $SYSLOGNG_OPTS \ ... while the Debian source I viewed says: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec "$SYSLOGNG" --pidfile "$PIDFILE" -- -p "$PIDFILE" $SYSLOGNG_OPTS \ As the Git repository tells the file is from 2007, I suspect the git reorganisation from november to have caused this - but I'm not sure. Also, the Debian init files seem to be much more up to date than this file - the file in Git still starts with the "skeleton" stuff. Best regards, Valentijn
