[syslog-ng] syslog-ng.conf : option group(<gid>); does not work ( stable version )

[Yan M.]

Hi,
in syslog-ng.conf man page it is said that the option group(gid); is used
to set group on created logfiles. Im trying to use that and it does not work
it is setting the group, not to the group I specify in that group() directive, but to 
the group syslog-ng runs as.
 
Also, the man page specifies you have to enter the gid in the group() option
but the syslog-ng daemon wont start when the gid is specified in its numeral form.
It should be group(groupname); instead of group(gid); in the man page.
 
Does the chgrp works only when syslog-ng is running as root ? If so, it is not
a documented feature ..
