[syslog-ng] Fwd: new to list, and syslog-ng

[Brian Loe]

<I hope you don't get this twice (hadn't confirmed my subscription the
first time).>

I'm hoping some of you can give me some guidance in my implementation
of syslog-ng on an AIX 5.3 system. This is what I have for a config
file thus far - will it work?

Also, some help on the best way to move from the AIX syslogd to
syslog-ng? I'm new to AIX as well...
