-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi
Most probably you ran syslog-ng with unix-stream("/dev/log") or something like this, which removes your original log device, and creates a unix socket. Newer versions refuse to overwrite non-socket files.
This is how it should look like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jan 13 1998 /dev/log -> ../devices/pseudo/log@0:log
Thanks, that mutch better :) Now is working fine.
btw: I suggest you to use 1.3.13. Lot of things have been cleaned up, some features have been added, and it should be quite stable now. Debian Linux has it as a package, and the only bugs reported were compilation issues on Alpha and PPC. (and of course the recently reported bugs with the program() destination) As soon as I've a little bit more time, I clean these up, and release 1.4.0.
I'm happy to hear about it because I was doubting what version to use but if 1.3.13 is near to 1.4.0.... :) As feedback, I tryed syslog-ng 1.2.3 in al linux-sparc RedHat 6.0 and it's working fine.
In the 1.5.x versions I plan to implement authentication and encryption support, date manipulation (adding the year field for instance), an inter-syslog-ng protocol (which uses tagging, so newer meta- and non-meta fields can be added easier) and maybe rewrite rules to modify log lines along the way.
I'm looking forward for it. Authentication and encryption would be nice.
