[syslog-ng] Delay writing to files

[Paolo Supino]

Hi 

  I went to acheck what is the situation in the firewall log file and
here is what I found: 
Dec 27 16:22:27 fwmgmt/fwmgmt logger: 10:00:19 drop ....

The date on fwmgmt is set correctly and shows the current time. 



TIA 
Paolo 


PS - I will try to remove the firewall logging and see if it will make
a difference.
