[syslog-ng] Fwd: Syslog-ng.conf

[Brian Loe]

I'm still having issues with either my config or privileges on the
files that are supposed to be created or something. The cron output
file isn't getting created - perhaps because it isn't receiving
anything? The other files are created (not the pipe - I'm assuming it
can't create a pipe) but the localmessages file only gets the
"syslog-ng has started" and nothing else is written. In other words,
it appears to start, create the file, write one line to the file and
then stops - the daemon keeps running, just nothing is getting written
to the files...

AIX 5.3 - and if anyone has opinions on the best way to launch
syslog-ng in AIX, I'll read it as well!
