Hey folks, Just figured I'd add some info to Nate's problem. I'm running syslog-ng-1.4.5 and libol-0.2.18 under solaris 2.7(sparc). One host collects firewall logs, and I've got several files as large if not larger than the one below. -rw------- 1 root root 112629718 Sep 5 17:23 gc-adminfw_all Not sure if this helps narrow down the problem or not. Thanks...
