      Hmmm...getting an error:

$ /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng
syntax error at 1
Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. (line 1)

here is what the conf looks like:

options {
          use_fqdn(yes);
          keep_hostname(yes);
          use_dns(yes);
          long_hostnames(off);
          use_time_recvd(no);
          chain_hostnames(no);
          log_fifo_size(300);
          mark(0);
          sync(0);
};
