Hi, I think i found a bug in syslog-ng-1.4.3; I'm currently running SuSE's Linux 6.3. every user account uses his own language with glibc's locales. So if I'm logged in as normal user i speak german with my computer; some months have other abbreviations : March (Mar) -> März (Mär) May (May) -> Mai (Mai) So if the time is somewhere in may, and my user logs something it'll look like this : May ... May ... Mai ... :-( May ... The problem : if i have a destination like destination{ file("/var/log/messages-$MONTH-$YEAR"); }; and i'm in March/May 2000 and my normal user uses logger or other programs like su; a file /var/log/messages-12-1999 gets created containing all localized log-entrys. Bye, Jan Niemann
