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..

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.

Matthew.
