[syslog-ng] Messages Not Getting Logged

Thanks for pointing that out.. I did find the correct door file:
Drw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 21 09:36 /var/run/syslog_door

I fixed the config and bounced syslog-ng but still not getting any log
messages.. Looking at the stats I do see where there are logs coming from
the internal() source:
'source(s_internal)=6', processed='center(queued)=0',
processed='destination(l_internal)=6'
Jul 21 09:34:56 asglogpup01 syslog-ng[8865]: Log statistics;
processed='center(received)=0', processed='destination(l_messages)=0',
processed='source(s_streams)=26', processed='src.internal(s_internal#0)=8',
stamp='src.internal(s_internal#0)=1279729796',
processed='source(s_internal)=8', processed='center(queued)=0',
processed='destination(l_internal)=8'

Anyone have any ideas?

Thx,
CC
