Hello,
I have PLD Linux kernel 2.4.20 and syslog-ng-1.6.0-0.rc3.2
I put into into syslog-ng.conf lines (for test purpose):
source net      { udp(); };
destination hosts {
    file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY"
        owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700)
    create_dirs(yes)); };
log {source(net); destination(hosts); };
Now i can see directiories like that:
/var/log/hosts/localhost/2003/2003/12/01
/var/log/hosts/localhost/2003/2003/12/02
that's OK.
But also:
/var/log/hosts/localhost/2002/12/31
as the year is not included in incoming messages syslog-ng tries to guess a
year based on current time and the received time. as there was a change in
this area in 1.6.0rc4 try that version and check whether it fixes your
problem.
