[syslog-ng]Greetings, and a syntax error...

[mark]

Thanks Jeff, yes that fixed it. Only problem is now I don't appear to be actually getting any logs. I
get no errors, and an nmap scan of localhost does indeed show a listener on port 1028. I'll have a play
about with it and email the list if I can't get it working.

cheers
