Hi!

I'm using syslog-ng 1.4.4 on HP-UX 10.20 host, with a file as
destination,
and source log device

source slocal   { pipe("/dev/log"); internal(); };

(I haven't the /dev/log.un UNIX domain socket, and I don't know how
create it!)

It appears that the kernel send to /dev/log additional binary data with
each
real log messages: for example:

head junk.log | od -c
0000000   J   u   n       2   7       1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5    
0000020   s   e   b   b   e   n   e       {  \n   J   u   n       2   7
0000040       1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n
0000060   e     270  \n   J   u   n       2   7       1   3   :   0   5
0000100   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n   e       {  \n   J   u
0000120   n       2   7       1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e

0000160   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n   e    
0000200 300  \t 367   [ 300  \t 240 203  \n   J   u   n       2   7    
0000220   1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n   e
0000240       { 001   P   (   { 003 267 350  \n   J   u   n       2   7
0000260       1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n
0000300   e     001   { 003 265 330 300 005   f   ,   @  \n   J   u   n
0000320       2   7       1   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b
0000340   b   e   n   e       4 250  \n   J   u   n       2   7       1
0000360   3   :   0   5   :   0   5       s   e   b   b   e   n   e    
0000400   {  \n   J   u   n       2   7       1   3   :   0   5   :   0
0000420   5       s   e   b   b   e   n   e     270  \n

I read in the list that there is already a workaround support for a very
similar problem on HP-UX, but it appears not to works for my problem.
Does someone encountered and resolved this problem?!?

Thanks in advance!
Massimmo
