Just a typo, I can't seem to paste into cxoffice running IE (outlook web <sigh>).

But I'm getting farther.

In spite of the fact that "which syslog-ng" returned /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng" which when I executed with "-V" reported as version 6rc3, I just noticed the start stop entries in the log file was still version stamped 1.5(somthing).

Somehow the redhat init script is calling the wrong one, but I deleted the old one from whereever else it was, then I found that it was failing to start due to looking for it's config file in /usr/local/etc/sysconfig-ng/ not in /etc/sysconfig-ng/  I found the switch for the configure file reconfigured and recompiled and now it's working!

The man page indicates that w/o the -f param it looks in /etc/syslog-ng, but if that was the intent, shouldn't hte configure script be changed to actually reflect this?

Anyway thanks for the help!

It may be a typo on the message but your filter line says f_fileter2 and
your log line says f_filter2.  Could this be your problem?

I'm unable to get messages into /var/log/messages with logger.

I've compiled and installed syslog-ng 1.6rc3,

I've the following config. (modified the contrib/syslong-ng.conf.Redhat)
config file.

Relavent lies of it are:

source s_sys { pipe ("proc/kmsg" log_prefix"kernel: ")); unix-dgram
("/dev/log"); internal(); };

filter f_fileter2 { level(info .. emerg) and not (facility(mail) or
facility(authpriv) or facility(cron)); };

log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter2); destination(d_mesg); };

I've tried the following: logger -p daemon.crit "Testing, Hello?"
and various others such as user.crit user.warn, etc. Nothing.
Syslog-ng does however log the fact that it starts and stops (at least
after I edited the default filter to be (info .. emerg) instead of just
(info)

I also see a few entries for STATS: dropped 0.

Help!
