[syslog-ng]syslog-ng on Solaris

[Matthew C Valites]

I'm using syslog-ng over stunnel to log to a remote mysql database.  I 
have it working perfectly on all my linux machines, but when I attempt 
to go over to Solaris, I run into problems.  I have recompiled with the 
"--enable-sun-streams" and "--enable-sun-door" and edited my conf file, 
and this is the error I get when I try to run syslog-ng:

root@diamond: syslog-ng -Fv
do_init_afstreams_source: Cannot enable console logging on sun-stream 
/var/log (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
Error initializing configuration, exiting.

This is my syslog-ng.conf file:

I had the doors option in the destination src, but there's no doors file 
on my machine.  I'd appreciate any help that anybody can provide.  I 
will be extremely grateful if this works.
