The problem is that FreeBSD doesn't have /dev/log device. A working default config-file could look like the following: ****************************************************************** # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.conf.gentoo,v 1.5 2005/05/12 05:46:10 mr_bones_ Exp $ # # Syslog-ng default configuration file for Gentoo Linux # contributed by Michael Sterrett options { chain_hostnames(off); sync(0); # The default action of syslog-ng 1.6.0 is to log a STATS line # to the file every 10 minutes. That's pretty ugly after a while. # Change it to every 12 hours so you get a nice daily update of # how many messages syslog-ng missed (0). stats(43200); }; source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log"); file("/dev/klog"); internal(); }; destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); }; log { source(src); destination(messages); };
