[syslog-ng] Syslog logging failure only at boot (Mac OS X)

[Orth, Alan]

List,

I tried my best to search the archives for this information but I came up with no real answers. 

I've got three Mac OS X Panther servers running syslog-ng, and they run it very well.  The only problem I have is when I reboot the servers syslog-ng starts from rc but fails to start logging.  It's running, but it's not logging.  I have to kill it and run it manually and then it runs.  It's like it's choking on something by coming up too early in the boot process...?

I've tried compiling 1.9.x to see if that fixes it, but I end up running into dependency problems down the line somewhere.  (is 1.9.x that portable yet?).

This is a drag when you go to check the logs from ssh, sudo, portsentry, mail, etc... and you find that syslog-ng never started logging after you rebooted 2 weeks ago.  Yikes.

Thanks for any insight,
