Hello list, my first post to the list, so hello everybody! :-) I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.2 amd64 and trying to upgrade from syslog-ng 2.0.9-1ubuntu1 to syslog-ng 3.0.3. I've both tried the on balabit.com provided amd64 .deb package and also created an own amd64 .deb with the default settings in /debian using dpkg buildpackage. I have the following two sources in my config: source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel: ")); }; source src { internal(); unix-dgram("/dev/log"); file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel: ")); }; Logging works just fine with the s_all source. However, as soon as I access the src source, by, for example destination temp_logfile { fifo("/tmp/.tivoli/.logfile."); }; log { source(src); destination(temp_logfile); }; all logging will cease. Meaning, other than Aug 5 15:04:23 server syslog-ng[17505]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.0.3' I'm not getting *anything* in my logs after restarting syslog-ng. If I then comment destination temp_logfile ... again and restart syslog-ng, logging works again. The exact same config has worked just fine with 2.0.9-1ubuntu1. Any idea what could be wrong here? Thanks a lot! Best regards Markus
