[syslog-ng] Config parse error in syslog-ng 2.0.0

[Jacek Kalinski]

Hi,

I have a config file working fine with syslog-ng-1.6.11.
But the same config won't work with 2.0.0.

Problem (as I've checked, compiling syslog-ng with YYDEBUG) is in:
dir_owner(0); dir_group(0); owner(0); group(0);

2 first lines of config:
options { dir_perm(0700); perm(0600); chain_hostnames(no); stats(1200);
          keep_hostname(yes); dir_owner(0); dir_group(0); owner(0);
group(0); };


Debug from checking syntax:

When I change 'dir_owner' to:
dir_owner(root)
next error found is on 'dir_group':

BUT manual, says:
       dir_owner(uid)
              User id.
documantecion says:
â                       â            â              âThe default owner
of     â
âdir_owner()            âuserid      âroot          ânewly
created            â
â                       â            â             
âdirectories.             â

The same problem with: owner and group options (so all options working
with UID/GID).

Is it an error in my configuration, or in docs? :)
Is it possible to keep compatibility with syslog-1.6 (so use UID/GID
instead of username)?
