[syslog-ng] Named Log Entries in the Config File

[Kenneth Kassing]

Hello,
I am writing a program to make updates tho the syslog-ng configuration 
file.  To allow for easily adding and removing log entries, I updated 
the parser gramer to allow a name field in the log entry.  The name is 
optional, so old log files will still work.  This name is not used by 
syslog-ng in any way.


Example: Both log entries below are valid with my grammar update.

log {
         source(s_all);
         filter(f_syslog);
         destination(df_syslog);
};

log l_syslog {
         source(s_all);
         filter(f_syslog);
         destination(df_syslog);
};

A patch generated with the following command is attached: "diff -uprN 
src/cfg-grammar.y.org src/cfg-grammar.y > ~/cfg-grammar.y.diff"
