Hello,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I am having trouble figuring out what is going on with metalog. I have rebooted these machines, so I am sure that syslog-ng is no longer running. I ran a "netstat -p", and it shows that metalog has the socket open as /dev/log. The only messages coming through are from cron and ntp (I installed those after making the switch). Does anyone have any ideas? Surely, someone else (running Gentoo) has tried this switch before, no? Any help is appreciated.
