I spent quite some time writing my config file and it was long enough ago that I don't quite remember all the ins and outs of hacking it...

Regular old syslog is one of those Unix horrors that just won't ever go away, like creat() and signals, but having syslog-ng around has been a major improvement.<br> <p> I highly recommend the 2.0 version because 1) older versions were prone to dropping network messages under load, and 2) older versions were implemented in a kind of c++-over-cpp object tunneling system which was extremely odd. The new version uses glib and sane people can actually hack on it :)<br> Sat, 16 Dec 2006 02:45:59 +0000
