Hello, Gentoo!
I've pretty much got my new system up and running. It took me less than
a week (compared with the month it took me when I first installed Gentoo
a few years ago). The most time consuming bit was getting my email
server (qmail) going. I've still got to go through my old

One little corner case; if you're running systemd 216 and syslog-ng 3.6,
you need to add ForwardToSyslog=yes to /etc/systemd/journald.conf. With
systemd 215 and earlier, messages are forwarded to syslog by default, and
syslog-ng 3.6 is journald aware.

I noticed the same on a recent installation. /var/log/syslog is not
created by default any more, when installing syslog-ng.
I've using syslog-ng on Gentoo for well over ten years and it's always
defaulted to /var/log/messages in that time. Other

And (from what I have heard) if you use systemd instead of
openrc, there are no syslog files at all - you have to export

No, I've never used systemd either. It's useful to be able to read
/var/log/messages with less, probe it with grep/awk/perl, etc., without
having to learn some special purpose script language.

Keep in mind that if you're grepping logs, there is probably a better

Finding all output from a particular daemon is going to be more
reliable if you filter by unit, versus getting
