Hi,
Apparently, I had two packages installed, one from yum and another one compiled manually.
As a co-maintainer of the Fedora/EPEL syslog-ng package, I'd like to ask what is the reason for compiling syslog-ng yourself. Is there a feature missing from the official packages? Bye, Peter Czanik (CzP) <peter.czanik@balabit.com> BalaBit IT Security / syslog-ng upstream http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/ https://twitter.com/PCzanik
To be honest, I can't remember any particular reason. I was following administration guide which has good description how to compile it. So I just compiled it... I wanted to make syslog-ng to start automatically (it's Centos 7 ) and thought may be the package installation would generate proper systemd service files. It didn't and I had to make them manually anyway. While playing with all this stuff I created two configuration files and then lost track. I forgot that I had two binary installed and I was breaking my head desperately editing the wrong configuration file, which was not in use. And the most confusing part was that my configuration files in /etc/syslog-ng/ and /usr/local/etc/ were identical at the time I implemented those changes.

Hi Peter,
As a co-maintainer of the Fedora/EPEL syslog-ng package, I'd like to ask what is the reason for compiling syslog-ng yourself. Is there a feature missing from the official packages?
I don't know about Andrey's reason, but I had to do it once because I needed OpenSSL linked in statically. While generally not a good idea, it was necessary because in the particular OS release OpenSSL was in /usr/lib and not available during startup, so I could not use Syslog NG as a replacement for the standard syslogd. Both (TLS support and use as a syslogd replacement) were required at that time, so I reluctantly decided to create an RPM I derived from the EPEL one. Best regards, Peter.
