[syslog-ng]Problem with HP-UX 11.0

[Cees Wellerdieck]

Hi Sharon,

This is what I use on HP-UX11.0 and this works for me. I only see a couple of lines
of garbage when I hup syslog-ng.

options {
        dir_perm(0755); perm(0644);
        time_reopen (10);
        sync(0); use_fqdn(no); long_hostnames(no); use_dns(no);
        gc_idle_threshold(1024); gc_busy_threshold(4096);
};

source s_internal { internal(); };
source s_log { pipe("/dev/log"); udp(); };
