[syslog-ng]syslog-ng & Directory Creation

[Philip Webster]

Hello,

I've just changed the owner for new files created by syslog-ng to be someone 
other than root, but new directories are still owned by root.  The relevant 
configuration is:

destination dst_hosts {
         file("/path/to/logs/$HOST/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY"
         template("$FULLDATE $FULLHOST $FACILITY.$PRIORITY $MSG\n")
         owner(loguser) group(loguser) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700)
         create_dirs(yes));

I've tried placing the create_dirs() directive before the owner() directive, 
but with no change in the result.  The owner of the top-level directory 
(/path/to/logs) is also loguser.  All files are created with the correct owner 
and group.  syslog-ng version is 1.6.3.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Phil
