Okay, perhaps I'm an idiot, but with a freshly downloaded and compiled syslog-ng 1.6.6, I get the following:

syslogng.conf (one line long):

destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3") port(1999); localport(999)); };

(which is, you'll notice, copied directly out of the docs)

apart from the wrong pairing of parens, the ';' is at the wrong place there. I fixed the documentation, it should be something like: destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999) localport(999)); }; syslog-ng parses the line above just fine. (note that localport() does not usually need to be specified unless you want syslog-ng to bind to a fixed port when sending messages) -- Bazsi
