Oh, though logging to a dgram socket doesn't seem to work either.
I added the following line to /etc/syslog-ng.conf:
unix-dgram("/dev/dlog");
Restarted it and checked that the socket was there. Then I ran the following:
:m +System.Log.Logger :m +System.Log.Handler.Syslog sl <- openlog_local "/dev/dlog" "foo" [PID] USER DEBUG updateGlobalLogger rootLoggerName (addHandler sl) warningM "bar" "test" *** Exception: sendTo: protocol error (Protocol wrong type for socket) Hm. hslogger uses a hardcoded 0 instead of PF_UNSPEC (not that Network.BSD exports PF_*, and it too hardcodes defaultProtocol as 0) but a spot check of system under my control suggests it should work most places.
What kind of systems to you have under your control?
Various SuSE Linux, Solaris 8/9/10, Mac OS X (should be mostly the same as FreeBSD at this level).
It seems to be depending on the syslog daemon to some extent. Debian with sysklogd: no problems, Debian with syslog-ng: exactly the problem I see on my Arch system.
