[syslog-ng] [Bug 265] syslog-ng does not output the $PID of the process, even when forced

[Evan Rempel]

How much more work would it be to have the .unix.login and/or the 
.unix.group into this?

To get the login as a post/processed item may be difficult as the login 
may not be available
on a syslog server, and over time the uid to login may change making 
historic logs less accurate/usable.
