Nope.  But you can do this:

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

log { source(s_all); destination(d_messages); };

That should do it.  If you are using Solaris you should use

source local { sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door"));
internal(); };

Look in the syslog-ng/doc directory for sample configs.

Drew

configure;make;make install  of syslog-ng source did not create
/etc/syslog-ng directory with
/etc/syslog-ng.conf ready to go.

I assume I must create this directory and file
myself???

syslog-ng has *tons* of features.  Please tell
me how I can just throw everything into /var/log/messages.
I don't require fancy stuff just yet.

In old syslog.conf this would be:

   *.info	   /var/log/messages

Will syslog-ng recognize a one line syslog-ng.conf
containing this old style config???

thanks,

Chris
