[syslog-ng]syslog-ng on Solaris

[Matthew C Valites]

I'm trying to forward to 127.0.0.1, which is picked up by stunnel and 
sends it out on a secure port.  This was the way I was doing it in 
linux, so I thought I could try and do it on Solaris. I'm not sure why 
the AF_INET sockets would break though.
