v2.1.2 Open Source Version: Error resolving user; user
When I start syslog-ng 2.1.2 (Opensource) I receive the following error. It worked fine with the same syslog-ng.conf file under v2.0.9 Starting syslog-ng: Error resolving user; user='root' Error resolving user; user='root' Error resolving user; user='root' Error resolving user; user='apache' Error resolving user; user='apache' Error resolving user; user='apache' These users do exist. I use them and their existence is self-explanatory. I have tried using the UID #'s for them and get basically the same errors. Any ideas? I have tried even moving these entries from the destination to the global section to no avail. Here is a sample: destination d_somelocation_logs { file ( "/content/syslog/somelocation/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FULLHOST-$FACILITY-$YEA R-$MONTH-$DAY.log" owner(apache) group( apache ) perm ( 0600 ) dir_perm( 0755 ) create_dirs ( yes ) template ( "$MESSAGE\n" ) ); }; Am I loosing my mind? This seems pretty clear, and it always worked before. One of the reasons I upgraded was the hope of utilizing the parser function and templatizing my 507 line conf file, but until I get the basics working again without the errors, I don't know.

You are right, there was a typo in one of the patches I applied recently, effectively causing username resolution to never work. I've just pushed a patch that fixes this to my git repository. -- Bazsi
That worked perfectly. You rock!
