Thank you Dan and Achim, upgrading to the rc3 fixed the problem. I guess my test box was still running an older version than rc2, and when I installed the package with rc2 it hosed everything.

I'm banging my head here and can't figure out for the life of me what happened. I had everything working, and after packaging up the binaries into a solaris package and reinstalling via package to test the package, some of the built in variables do not work. For example I have this destination statement:

destination network_log { file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$FACILITY.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes) ); };

Before it worked correctly, I'd end up with a log entry like /var/log/syslog-ng/hostabc/auth.20030429 Now I get: /var/log/syslog-ng/.29

This is a known bug in version 1.6.0rc2, update to version 1.6.0rc3.
