[syslog-ng] Unable to make syslog-ng listen to port 514

[Szemere, László]

Hello,
 please share
 - your rconfiguration
 - the command you started syslog-ng with
 - the user you are running syslog-ng on behalf.

The Permission denied error message indicates, that you are trying to bind
to a local address and port, which you do not have permission to use.

Br,
Laci
