interesting, it did not work for me. in the /etc/syslog-ng.conf there was:

group("log");

and syslog-ng ignored this setting, I changed it to:

group(19);

as specified in the man page and it works fine now.

Yes, same here. There should be a bug raised I guess. If no one beats me to it I'll raise on tonight.

It probably should. I'm confused though, it works for me with the group name (as in the default config).
