[syslog-ng] create_dirs in 1.3.15

[Sam Howard]

I tried something similar, and found that syslog-ng went balistic and was
constantly 'stat(/var)' (according to truss).

Also, should it create *any* directory it needs? or only ones that are the
result of a variable expansion?

For example file("/var/log/make/this/directory/$HOST.log"); where only
/var/log exists...

BTW, I tried this on 1.3.16 (ahh, fresh code!)

Thanks,
Sam

I can't seem to get create_dirs to work. When i add it to my options and
add a destination such as
destination test { file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$FACILITY"); };
not only does it not create the directories or the files, but syslog-ng
stops logging everything all together. Any thoughts? did i miss something
in the conf?
