[syslog-ng] syslog-ng Digest, Vol 73, Issue 37

[Kristen Eisenberg]

Someone must have used a so-called "smart" editor to edit this file, since 
it seems to have used fancy quotes on the console line.

#destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
destination console_all { file(“/dev/console”); };
#destination loghost { udp("loghost" port(999)); };

Notice how they are different from those on the line above?  Word 
processors often replace quotes with matching pairs like that 
automatically; only plain text editors should be used to edit config files 
like this.

Check for this kind of thing with a hex dumper or 'cat -vet':

$ cat frank
#destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };
#destination loghost { udp("loghost" port(999)); };
