Thanks!  There is lots to learn since config file much
more complicated now.

Do you run syslog-ng daemon AND klogd too???

FAQ says to have syslog-ng handle kernel messages I must
kill klogd and add this to syslog-ng.conf....

source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internel(); };

I assume this is a good idea.  Perhaps that is what you do???

Thanks again,

Chris
