I tried to make syslog-ng listening on ipv6 network interface, but it
failed to start.
Can anyone help me?


my syslog-ng version is: syslog-ng 3.4.0alpha2

/localdisk/syslog-ng-3.4.0alpha2>syslog-ng

My simple config file is:
I already put the line below at /etc/hosts file:
fdfb:8edf:1466::191  iclab098v6 iclab098v6.ic.intel.com

        dns_cache_hosts(/etc/hosts);
};

        system();
        internal();
};

source s_network {
        udp(ip(10.230.34.191) port(514));
        tcp(ip('fdfb:8edf:1466::191') port(514));
};

destination d_local {
        file("/var/log/syslogmessages");
};

log {
        source(s_local);
        source(s_network);
        destination(d_local);
};
