Thanks, that mutch better :)  Now is working fine.

I'm happy to hear about it because I was doubting what version to use but
if 1.3.13 is near to 1.4.0.... :)

As feedback, I tryed syslog-ng 1.2.3 in al linux-sparc RedHat 6.0 and it's
working fine.

I'm looking forward for it. Authentication and encryption would be nice.

Regards.
