[syslog-ng] Problems Configuring syslog-ng

["Marcus Viní­cius S. Mendes"]

I was trying this configuration that don't works:
-------------------------
# UNIDATA's LDM configuration
filter f_ldm     { facility(local0); };
destination ldmd { file("/usr/local/ldm/logs/ldmd.log"
                        owner(ldm) group(unidata)
                        perm(0644)
                       );
                 };
log { source(src); filter(f_ldm); destination(ldmd); };
-------------------------

When I try this another configuration, it works:
-------------------------
# UNIDATA's LDM configuration
filter f_ldm     { facility(local0); };
destination ldmd { file("/var/log/ldm/ldmd.log"
                        owner(ldm) group(unidata)
                        perm(0644)
                       );
                 };
log { source(src); filter(f_ldm); destination(ldmd); };
-------------------------

Could you help me about?
