Hi,
Really, as mentioned by Balazs, try using /var/run/log in your syslog-ng.conf file.
On Freebsd 4.5: syslog.h:#define _PATH_LOG "/var/run/log"
I dare to say, it is exactly what configure script is for :-) -andrey
/dev/log is a symbolic link to /var/run/log, so you can not use it to create your socket. I guess it provides an interface for applications to log to /dev/log.
Trying to start the bsd syslogd with /dev/log (syslogd -p /dev/log) will also fail.
Regards, Esteban.

excuse me,
but i not have /var/run/log file !
on partition / read-only, syslogd good start & job !
why syslog-ng fail with error msg ? io.c: bind_unix_socket(): bind failed /dev/log (Address already in use)
because not process "use" /dev/log !
I don't really understand you here. syslog-ng fails to open /dev/log as creating a socket is a write operation.
Try ktrace-ing the original syslogd to see what it does to create its socket. Maybe it creates /var/run/log and /dev/log is a symlink to /var/run/log ?
I'm Ccing you to the syslog-ng list, they might have an answer ready for you.
