[syslog-ng]no kernel facility

[Stephan Uhlmann]

Hello.

It seems that syslog-ng doesn't receive syslog messages of the "kern" 
facility. I have the following configuration (in reality a bit bigger but the 
other stuff is mostly configuration for receiving log messages from other 
hosts, it shouldn't affect this problem):

---------
options { sync (0);
          time_reopen (10);
          log_fifo_size (1000);
          long_hostnames (off);
          use_fqdn (no);
          create_dirs (yes);
          keep_hostname (yes);
        };

source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };
destination han_messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
log { source(src); destination(han_messages); };

---------

I don't think that there are no kernel messages generated by the system. Also 
with normal syslog I get the following messages when killing/starting klogd:

Mar 14 13:11:59 han kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Mar 14 13:11:59 han kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.2.16-SMP
Mar 14 13:11:59 han kernel: Loaded 9539 symbols from 
/boot/System.map-2.2.16-SMP.
Mar 14 13:11:59 han kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.16.
Mar 14 13:11:59 han kernel: Loaded 290 symbols from 7 modules.
Mar 14 13:12:03 han kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.
Mar 14 13:12:03 han kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.

With syslog-ng I don't get these messages. So I suspect that there is a 
problem with syslog-ng getting the messages from klogd.

I updated to version 1.4.14 and the problem still exists.

Any hint appreciated :-)

Thank you,
