[syslog-ng] Unix datagram

[Bruno Vieira]

I'm using syslog-ng 1.6.11

Neither of the following lines works:

destination s_dgram { unix-dgram("/tmp/log.socket"); };
destination d_unix_stream { unix-stream("/var/run/logs"); };


For both, used separately, the error is:
CONSOLE:
sudo /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop
sudo /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
Starting system logging: syslog-ngSegmentation fault (core dumped) start
failed.


Many thanks.
Bruno.
