Now I have an extra issue: I'm considering switching from syslog to syslog-ng + logrotate and saw (on this list) that the _configuration_ file is _completely different_. How can I read up on this matter without emerging syslog-ng? Must I fetch the distfile and take a peek? Does emerge install a useful configuration, which I can use for a start and refine it afterwards? The FAQ on syslog-ng's homepage http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/ and the samples therein aren't very enlightening<g> for the not-so-experienced user (=myself;).
