Hi Friends,
=20
=46or some reason, syslog-ng did not create a new dir and destination file
after it closed the last log on February 28 @ 23:59.  It should have
created a new dir in the form:
=20
<path>/2005/03/
=20
and a file named "2005-03-01".
=20
However, this did not happen and I am still not able to get logging
going.
=20
I am using syslog-ng version 1.6.6, running on FreeBSD 5.3.  I installed
it recently and it worked great from Feb 17 to Feb 28, each day creating
that day's file; but it not create the March directory nor any other
=66ile.
=20
tcpdump sessions show that the udp packets to port 514 are arriving at
the log server.
=20
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
=20
thanks,
=20
