I was surprised too. I took version Syslog-ng 3.1.2, which is the only version on Sunfreeware. Then downloaded and installed all of the latest libraries etc from Sunfreeware and double/tripled checked them to ensure I didn't miss anything. I've never compiled anything from Sunfreeware because I never had to:)) Everything always worked perfectly the first time. I will get a second set of eyes to verify everything next week. There is always a chance I missed something. Hate it when that happens:)) Thanks again for your replies.. On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 1:13 PM, Matthew Hall <mhall@mhcomputing.net> wrote:

Thanks Matthew!! Appreciate the info.
In the past, the person who normally installs syslog-ng would just download it from sunfreeware.com and update all the libraries and and install it without any compiling. It always worked right out of the box except for the config file:))
I will look for the documentation and start reading. I normally do that anyway but was under a pretty strict timeline.
Thanks again!!
I am surprised the version from sunfreeware is not working right.
Or were you compiling it from source this time instead to get a newer version?
Anyhow, if you are compiling from source you might as well use 3.2 because you get bugfixes, event correlation, and more configuration flexibility.
