Hi all!
Here is a part from my .conf file:

####################################################################
source udp_mesg { udp( port(514));};

destination d_locals{ =
file("/var/log/test/$HOST/$FACILITY_$LEVEL/$DAY.$MONTH.$YEAR.log" =
owner("root") group("adm") perm (0640) dir_perm(0740) =
create_dirs(yes));};

log { source(udp_mesg);filter(f_messages);destination(d_locals);};
####################################################################

It logs fine, still without facilities, but the problem comes perhaps =
from my devices, not from syslog-ng.
The strange what happend is:
As I listed the directories in my log-directory, I found out, that there =
are about hundred hidden dierectories.
I log from tho devices, and there were, as it should be, two dirs for =
their logs. But in the hidden directories(.00 to .99) there were logs =
from the devices, most from severity 'notice'.

Has anyone idea, what could be the problem?


          cheers
             Dian
