[syslog-ng]Can't find syslog-ng

[Paul Mansmann]

I assume you mean Red Hat Linux 8 here.  On Red Hat Linux 8, this directory and file will be created in the /usr/local/etc
directory.  The easiest way to work around this little quirk is to create the directory /etc/syslog-ng and then make a link for
syslog-ng.conf within that directory to the one under /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.  That way you don't spend an hour and a half editing
the file under /etc/syslog-ng and pulling half your hair trying to figure out why it's not working right before remembering your
editing the .conf file in the wrong location.  Voice of experience here.  :)
 
Hope this helps...
Paul
