[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng with stunnel

[Stephen Tanner]

I have considered this.  The only problem with this would be that I can
manually execute the script and everything starts up properly.  It only
seems to barf when executed from rc on boot.

You've probably already tried this, but try making the script sleep for
a few seconds after stunnel is started but before syslog-ng is started.
That might be all you need.

Your mantra for today is: Don't let data from the network near a
shell. Bad things happen.                    -- Randall Schwartz
