Hi All,
I'm looking to have a go at a configuration manual for Syslog-ng.. the 
reason being that the current one sucks (sorry, but true)..

It will be for teh stable branch only 

For starters I'm pulling variables from the c code... so here are the 
globals..

chain_hostnames 
keep_hostname 
mark_freq 
sync_freq 
time_reopen 
time_reap 
log_fifo_size 
use_time_recvd 
use_fqdn 
use_dns 
create_dirs 
uid 
gid 
perm 
dir_uid 
dir_gid 
dir_perm 
gc_busy_threshold
gc_idle_threshold

Can someone tell me what inputs these configs take and what their function 
is? - some are in the docs, but some (like create_dirs) are not... I'll 
post to this list as it comes together...

Cheers,

Bret
