[syslog-ng]no logging

[Dave Johnson]

Try removing the filter in the log{} line for troubleshooting purposes.

Anything logging to udp 514 on that box should be logged to the
60HUDSONST file.  Then from there you can spend some time getting the
filters just right.
Make sure your dirs are setup [/var/syslog-ng/host] as create_dirs is
set to no in your optoins.

Oh, also FYI--Theres a small dive bar across the street if you start
to get too frusterated.  ;)  (I've spent a few nights in 60 hudson
[~7-9 years ago].)
