Re: [syslog-ng] Error trying to restart service

After the weekend I came in to run the checks on our logs and noticed nothing new had been written over the weekend, or at least since mid-night last night. When I tried to restart the service, I got an error saying that the "user; user=root" and "group; group=root" could not be verified. I am stuck in a meeting at the moment and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on how to quickly resolve this, once I get back to my desk?

Which version of syslog-ng? How exactly did you try to restart it? Is everything all right with the init script? Is the message coming from syslog-ng, or the init script, or something else? -- |8]
