as of new versions of syslog-ng ebuilds, a config file for hardened USE flag is installed which is rather different than the non-hardened one. The assumption that all hardened systems want to split logs between several files seems wrong to me. I for one have the hardened USE flag on my laptop, because I prefer using hardened toolchain. But I don't want to have split log files, just the one 'messages' file. At least maybe both files can be installed somewhere so I can easily choose which one I want to use?
See /usr/portage/app-admin/syslog-ng/files ;-)
ok, I changed the ebuild in CVS to install all config files in the files/ directory now. Have fun.
