Thanks RVP will test this out.. I was manually running the pid but had to redo
this everytime the device was restarted .. so seems like your item1 change is
the solution. I did change the version # in the conf file earlier ..

Installed syslog-ng just now and newsyslog rotated the logs just fine.
I had only to make 2 fairly obvious changes:
1. In /etc/rc.d/syslogng, change the default pidfile name:
```
# pidfile="/var/run/${ngname}.pid"
pidfile="/var/run/syslogd.pid"
```
(I was too lazy to fix-up /etc/newsyslog.conf for syslog-ng...)
2. Add a `@version: 3.38' directive at the start of the syslog2ng-generated
/usr/pkg/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file:
```
$ head /usr/pkg/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
@version: 3.38
options { dir_perm(0755); perm(0644); chain_hostnames(no);
keep_hostname(yes); };
source local {
unix-dgram("/var/run/log");
udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
internal();
};
$
```
