I'm having some problem with logging to syslog using System.Log.Logger and friends. I have the following:

What could be the cause for this? I've tried hsyslog and it reports to my instance of syslog without problems.
Looks like hslogger assumes /dev/log is always a datagram socket; hsyslog uses the system openlog(), which correctly recognizes that syslog-ng uses a stream socket. (Think UDP and TCP, respectively, except that there's no IP involved with local sockets.) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
