Howdy.  Doing some updates to my Linux box today when I noticed I still
hadn't gotten around to setting up log rotation.  It was then that I've
noticed syslog-ng wasn't running.  I tried to start it manually, but get the
following:

io.c: bind_unix_socket(): /dev/log not a socket
Error initializing configuration, exiting.

I just upgraded to latest libol (0.3.11) and syslog-ng (1.6.rc4) today, same
results.  Any ideas?

Thanks
