Are you unable to use the syslog-ng facility for constructing the pathname
of the logfile?  It allows things like:

destination d_auth { file("/logs/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/seclog-$YEAR-$MONTH$DAY"); };

and there's a *lot* of other variables you can include in there.  Or am I
totally failing to understand the problem?
