We have old and new irix machines, Linux, Windows, and Solaris
machines running a mixture (which is becomming more and more
syslog-ng) of syslogd and syslog-ng.  At one point we had NetBSD in
the picture as well.

All log without any difficulty to syslog-ng (running under Solaris).
I even went through the trouble of adding the special IRIX, BSD, and
Linux facilities to the Solaris build.  This lets AUTHPRIV (Linux),
AUDIT(IRIX), SECURITY(BSD), CONSOLE(BSD) and LFMT(IRIX) be recognized
rather than being dumped into your catch all log file (messages
usually).
