Thanks for the link! However I got another novice question. I am having troubles getting sqlsyslogd running. I get this message when I try to make:

ogbitch# make
cc -O6 -Wall -pipe -I/usr/local/include -DCONF=\"/usr/local/etc/sqlsyslogd.conf\" -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient sqlsyslogd.c  -o sqlsyslogd

/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so: undefined reference to `strtoll'
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/local/lab.

I am running syslog-ng this on freeBSD. I checked to see if libmysqlclient.so is in the correct location and it is:
logbitch# ls -la /usr/local/lib/mysql

I am wondering if you or anyone else can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
