[syslog-ng]Re: Timezone problem with syslog-ng

["Pedroche, Raúl"]

  Greetings.

  That seemed to be the problem. I was using the init.d.solaris file
included in the distribution and I modified it adding a

. /etc/TIMEZONE

before the "$DAEMON $OPTIONS..." line. It is now working flawlessly.

  I assume nother alternative would be to use
"TZ=whatever $DAEMON...".

  Anyway, sorry for not sharing this before.

You might be starting syslog-ng from an environment where all the
environmental variables are scrubbed, I've had similar things happen.

How are you starting syslog-ng?
