Hello everyone,

I have the folloving problem:

After some hours as daemon (~1 - 2h) syslog-ng crashes, leaving no info on 
what happened in the logs or elsewhere. I run the daemon with 
syslog-ng -u syslog-ng -g syslog-ng
and the user and group exists in the system. The config file I use is 
attached.
Compile options are following:

libol-0.3.10
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/libol
make

syslog-ng-1.6.0rc3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/syslog-ng 
--with-libol=/usr/src/libol-0.3.10
make
make install

The system is a celeron 1700Mhz with 128Mb ram and there are just 2 other 
proccesses beside syslog-ng - fcron and ntpd.

Another question is: when I delete a logfile when syslog-ng is still running 
for the first time, syslog-ng recreates the file, when it recives a message 
thats destination is the deleted file, but when I delete the same file a 
second time, it's not being recreated. Is there a way to make syslog-ng 
recreate the file everytime ?

And the last question is, when could the message encryption feature be 
implemented ?

Btw. great work ! Syslog-ng is a really good product !

best regards,
Rudolfs
