[syslog-ng] syntax error

[Jacek Kalinski]

Hi,

you have an error because syslog-ng 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 can't convert
user/group name to user/group ID.
But when you specify, eg.
group(10) it will start correctly (if GID 10 = tty).

I wrote about this between 2006-11-26 and 2006-11-28 in thread: "Config
parse error in syslog-ng 2.0.0". It still hasn't been fixed.
