[syslog-ng] Starting syslog-ng as root

[Muath Al Khalaf]

Hi,
I am using Redhat Enterprise 4. I am using the official rpm image built
by Balabit for RHE 4 with their startup script. The executable did not
return anything (at least in front of me inside console). For strace I
do not know how to use it.

hmm.. I don't see why it failed, but I would certainly need some more
information to be able to help you. The return code of the executable,
an strace dump or something.
