Hi,

You might try the --chroot option of syslog-ng in 1.5.6. Syslog-ng will bind
to /dev/log in the root filesystem, then chroot into the given directory.
Thus programs can log messages. The only problem with this approach is that
you obviously cannot reload your syslog-ng.

BTW: symlinks to sockets should work at least on Linux, so /usr/jail and /
can be on different partitions as well.
