[syslog-ng] IPv6 Link local address use with syslog-ng

[Balazs Scheidler]

Thanks for the detailed information. The reward is a patch that fixes
the issue for me:

diff --git a/src/afinet.c b/src/afinet.c
index 40dc5b9..05dbe62 100644
--- a/src/afinet.c

 #if ENABLE_IPV6
             case AF_INET6:
-              g_sockaddr_inet6_set_address(addr, &((struct sockaddr_in6 *) res->ai_addr)->sin6_addr);
+              *g_sockaddr_inet6_get_sa(addr) = *((struct sockaddr_in6 *) res->ai_addr);
               break;
 #endif
             default: 

This makes syslog-ng support the same '%eth0' syntax that all the other 
tools know.

Slowly I might gather enough knowledge about IPv6 to actually try 
to deploy it on our local network.  :)
